There isn't an instruction manual, at least not that I know of, and there is no drill bit that is provided. I just found that a 1/8" drill bit looked to be about the same size as the screws/bolts so I went with it. But basically, here is how you do it.
Accelerator Pedal Install
1.) Line aluminum pedal up with plastic pedal
2.) Using the aluminum pedal holes as a template, either mark the hole with a pen/pencil and then drill, or drill with the pedal in place. I'm daring so I just held the pedal in place and drilled.
3.) After drilling all 4 holes, slide the bolts into the holes and fasten the nuts and washers on the back. This is a huge pain in the a$$ unless you have tiny hands. If you have a 5-6 year old son that's into cars I would highly recommend asking him for help, he could probably fit in the car under the steering wheel and get his hands behind the pedal no problem.
Brake Pedal Install
1. Remove the rubber that covers the brake pedal
2.) Repeat step #1 from the Accelerator Pedal Install
3.) Repeat step #2 from the Accelerator Pedal Install
4.) Repeat step #3 from the Accelerator Pedal Install
Dead Pedal Install
Well, you get the picture.
Seriously though, it's a really easy mod to do, but if you want/need more detailed directions or better pictures feel free to ask. The pics that I posted are just from my camera phone so they're not too high quality.

Thanks, Heiss5, for the detail instructions. Is the brake pedal the only metal that you have to drill and the other are hard plastic? It's light metal too, right? You're awesome, and thanks again for the insights and instruction.
