The install was fairly straight forward. We did drill into the gas pedal and dead pedal but luckily on the brake pedal when we removed the rubber slip on cover we saw that there were holes in it already. So we just used those.

6MT pics here... I absolutely luv em. The added thickness to the gas pedal made the relation of the brake to the gas waaaaaaay better (for me) for heel-toe-ing (the plate sits on top of the existing gas pedal, but the plates replace the rubber pads on the brake and clutch pedals). The heel-toe extension on the gas pedal is great, I used to miss the gas on occasion and my foot would slip between the pedals, never more!
Warning though, sounds like installing into the AT brake pedal was easy, since there happen to be holes there already. But for the MT brake and clutch, you'll have to drill through the original metal pedals, which rest at very difficult-to-access and-drill angles.

Those buttons will probably wear out even faster than the original pads. Also, I didn't want my foot to"stick" to the gas pedal any more than it had to while heel/toe-ing.
If the rubber pads wear out, they just become the same as the Ultimatepedal ones. Also, your foot won't stick to the gas when you heel-toe, unless you were doing it wrongly or wearing golf shoes while driving. This type of metal pedals with rubber pads have been used for ages in Japan and Australia (where it is a requirement to have the rubber pads) without "sticking" problems when heel-toeing (with both bottom and top-hinged accelerator pedals).
