Where is my super sauce?
Thread Starter
They sent me my replacement right away, but I have not yet received the 'upgraded' version with the logo centered.
I'm sure they're working on it.

Where have I been? Didn't even know if this was going on.
Question:
Is drilling into the factory pedals the only way to mount these? Can they be clamped on?
Do these have rubber on the pedals so wet feet don't slip? I have seen many pedals before that have like a raised hole, or a little rubber pad that do nothing when your sneakers are wet.

Bolting on is the only way I'd go. YMMV. IMHO.

The instructions seem simple enough:
Approximate installation time: 20-30 minutes
Remove the rubber covers from the brake and clutch pedal.
Hold the aluminum pedal covers over the factory pedals and mark where the holes need to be drilled.
Gas & footrest: Drill the holes using a 1/8” or smaller drill bit, being careful not to get the holes too large. It is possible to turn the screws into the plastic without drilling pilot holes. Carefully turn the self-tapping screws (silver finish) into the factory pedals to tap the holes. Remove the screws and place the pedal covers onto the pedals and turn the screw back in to attach the aluminum pedals. Note: Some gas pedals may have a hard, thin plastic cover over a steel pedal. This plastic may not be thick enough to hold the self-tapping screws. In this case remove the plastic cover and install the Autovation gas pedal on top of the metal pedal.
Brake & clutch: Drill the holes with a 3/16” (.187”) drill bit. To make easier, pilot holes should be drilled first. Using loctite*, attach the pedals with the black machine screws and lock nuts.
* When attaching all screws / bolts / nuts / etc., use a medium or high strength threadlocker (blue or red Loctite); loctite not included.
Check that all pedals are securely attached.
Make sure all pedals have adequate clearance
Make sure the gas pedal does not contact the floor or floor mat
Re-Check all pedals after driving
Tips / Tricks:
Use new Cobalt drill bits
Use a cutting fluid (lubricant) on your drill bit
Use crazy glue to adhere the covers to pedals. After the glue dries you can use the holes as guides to prevent skating. Always be sure to use all the bolts provided in the kit.
Use a corded drill. If you are using a cordless drill make sure it is fully charged.
Notes:
The pedal covers are engineered to match the profile on your application.
The gas pedal is smooth so that your shoe will slide over its surface.

In the last pic, it clearly shows that I sanded all the painted metal from the top of the pedal before installing them... I preped it and painted it, since I did not want to see black... I think it looks good..

You need to take off the plastic on the door threshhold (Just pull it up)and the plastic where the HOOD release is (2 pull pins that hold that in)(Just pull)... I also took the plastic molding off from under the steering wheels since I had my large 18V DEWALT drill..
I sanded the Clutch and Brake pedal after I was all done drilling then I got some Metal polish and tore into them. Then painted the raw metal with clear nail polish.
As for the kick plate you need to pull one fastener out of the floor with a large screw driver.. then you can pull the carpeting back so you can tighten the kick plate down
They feel great...A hell of alot better than stock.
