I was going to ask the same question -- thinking I had read you have to basically break the OE dead pedal out to add the M5 piece.

It looks nice on your car, so probably worth the effort! I have the same pedal covers and now the dead pedal looks kind of plain beside them. Plus with my beige interior it shows dirt and scuff marks pretty bad.

How hard is it to install the pedal covers? the instructions all say "drilling required," which has made me leary. Are you drilling through the metal pedal under the rubber cover? thanks, looks good.

A M-Package is standing on my wish list...

How hard is it to install the footrest?!

Hmm.. Let me say so: "I have never done such a difficult work... I took me 3 hours to remove the old footrest!!
They are glued with very strong carpet glue, so you have take a little stanley knife, and the most difficult thing is: you have to get it under the old footrest, and cut the glue piece by piece away from the carpet...

And when you are finished you wont have any sense for your bloody fingers...

Sorry for my English, but i hope you can understand it!
