Looks great! I've been looking at the same set for a MT.
When you said you had to drill into the metal pedal, how difficult was it and what made it challenging?

 

It just took a little time. It was also a little challenging because of how I had to position myself holding the drill while trying to be somewhat comfortable. Another factor is that the pedal moves so you have to brace the back of the pedal with your hand while trying to drill into the pedal. I suppose I could have used something like a block of wood to support the back of the pedal. I didn't think of that until I was done. Each hole took about 1-2 minutes to get through and I have very good drill bits! 1-2 minutes doesn't sound like a very long time, but it feels like an eternity when you are in an awkward position under the steering wheel.

The key to the whole install is slow and steady. I wouldn't try to force the drill by pushing hard. You'll end up with a broken bit. Make sure you are using a good bit, not a wal-mart special where you get 10 different sized bits for $9.99! Let the drill do the work slowly. One last thing...if you are using a cordless drill make sure you have a full charge. The other two pedals are very easy. Just take the accelerator out of the car when installing that pedal. It's much easier that way. The total time it took was probably about 45 mins including clean up.

Let me know if you have any other questions...

 

nice job!

you have a link to the ebay seller?

Here is a link to the seller. It looks like they don't have the same auction I bid on. The one I bid on started at $55 with $20 to ship. I won since I was the only one that bid. It looks like the only auction for these are $62.99 Buy it Now with $25 to ship...IMO still a great deal considering the fantastic quality of these pedals.

cool, the seller is located only a few miles away from me.

i'm always hesitant on those rep's as far as quality goes, but if you feel the quality is good.....i just might take a stab at it.

 

nice pedals
