I was able to install the foot rest and gas pedal except for the brake because it's metal 
I dont know if I should glue it or drill a hole in it, well tomorrow I'm going to Home Depot to check out this pop-rivet tools, thanks for the advice guys.

it is easy to drill a hole in it...As I said in my earlier post when the M pedal is already attached via double sided tape, it will be easy to drill using the pedal hole as the guide. It is tapered so it does not matter if you eat up sme aluminum.It will be covered by the torx or allen...10 minute job using a portable Dewalt power tool with drill bit.

check out Harbor Freight too. Is probably a lot less expensive than Home Depot.
Harbor Freight sells them from $7.99+
I was going to order from Harbor Freight, but went ahead and
installed my set on Saturday.

I checked out this rivet over at home depot but I don't know how to use it , I don't know if that thing will pierce through metal or what, since I have a drill at home, I went on ahead and bought the drill bits for metal! But IMO that pop-rivet thing is a very good idea!
