Okay... just installed my new pedals yesterday..... it's from autovation (i think?) ebay item..... anyway, the install was pretty straightforward as the instructions suggested... however, it is a little difficult attaching the brake pedal... just a backgrounder on these types of pedals... these are actually aluminum overlays on the pedals after you've taken off the rubber pedal covers.... you would need to drill holes for both the clutch and brake pedals which really doesn't seem as bad... the brake pedal however is made of metal and it took a little work to drill the hole... the accelerator pedal was also an overlay and is drilled to the actual accel. pedal... it's a little extended which makes for better heel/toe shifts (which I'm still practicing :smile: by the way) ... it (new accel. pedal) is also smooth which makes for an easy transition to the brakes when necessary.... just a warning for big footed people.... these pedals may or may not be for you since it extends the accel. pedal to the left hence making the clearance between the brake and accel. less... isn't bad even when the brake is fully depressed but I can see it being a problem with big shoes/feet..... anyway, here's some pics....

Hi Alfred,

COOL! We're going to have the same pedal set. I just bought that set at the CTD Germany site. How do the feel? Do they provide alot of grip? They look really cool man, good job. How you like them so far?

I'm not sure if I'm doing a favor for the sellers but I got mine straight (offline transaction) for $72

it's a great interior mod since I can feel a little bit more traction on the pedals now even with smooth leather soled shoes......

Alfred,

Great looking set. I got my set in from CTD the other day, but it was missing the instructions, could you either pm me a copy of your set or post them here? Thanx in advance.
