alright guys i finally got them on. it took 4 drill bits (3 shattered), new screws ( the ones they sent were too short) and a lot of patience.
the kick plate was easy, used 3 self tap screws and it's good.
the gas pedal was too curved, but w/ a little mickey mousing and somemore self tapping screws (that weren't provided) they went in without a hitch. i just measured the top of it with the top of the stock superglued and drilled.
the brake pedal was a bitch. 3 bits shattered on me, and the holes had to be put into the upper and lower grooves of the stock brake pedal (after removing the rubber of course) in order to center the aluminum cover. again i centered it after aligning the top of the cover w/ the top of the aluminum pedal. i superglued it on, and used a 1/8" drill bit to make markers. removed the pedal and used the 1/8" bit to make pilot holes. then i moved the bit size up one by one until i got the 3/16" bit. i had to buy new screws since the hole placement made the screws/nuts included worthless. i bought #8-32*3/4" screws from home depot (flat head slotted, machine) and used the nuts that came with the pedals to secure them in place.
the bottom 2 screws/nuts were flush and fit perfectly. the top 2 (due to the poor curve of the aluminum pedal) are not perfectly flush with the pedal but isn't noticable until your get a flashlight and stare at it.
anyways sorry no pics b/c no camera, but they look beautiful and turned out better than i thought they would.

FWIW, I didn't drill at all for the dead pedal or accelerator pedal. I let the self-tapping screws self tap.

No, even though i got the TL in my screen name, i own an '03 CL-S
Yeah i didn't drill for the kick plate or the accelerator pedal either, only the brake.
i used the 3 self tapping screws for the kick plate, and i had to get 3 of my own for the gas pedal.
the brake pedal was the onl thing i had to drill

has anybody been able to get a hold of the guys from autovation?
i have tried to e-mail them through their website 3 times and all 3 were not mailed out for some odd reason (that has never happened to me before). i just got some "postmaster reply" saying that there was some error.
I tried to e-mail jeff over there (i got the tracking number from him and luckily i saved that e-mail) so we will see what happens. If anyone has a phone number over there i would appriciate it because i really wouldlike to get in contact with those guys.

Just finished my auto pedal install.
As you said TLHASTZ, the four alan key bolts were a little too short. I went to the hardware store and got ones that were a little longer. Didnt break any drill bits this time. I just used Goop and two clamps to glue it in place, then drilled the holes, periodically spraying the bit with WD40 to keep it cool. other than that it pretty much went as planned. The longer screws dont exactly match the ones I was supposed to use though.

Blader, glad to hear it worked, i wish i could have found some longer screws like the allen wrench sytle they sent cause those look nice, but i got flathead screws, whatever their match and they work.
I finally got a hold of Jeff from autovation, i guess something was up with their webiste link to their e-mail. anyways he asked me to take pics for what was wrong but i don't have and don't have access to a digicam that i know of. i suggested that they add more self tapping screws and longer screw/nut sets. i haven't heard anything back yet though.
anyways i took my baby out for a ride today, she ran great and the pedals were fine.

You need a drill, the appropriate bits, a small rachet (or *gasp* pliers), an Allen wrench set, and a screwdriver.
Short version of directions are:
Drill some holes.
Mount covers with bolts or screws.
Tighty righty; lefty loosie.

Thanks for posting the pics. That e-brake one looks pretty cool and would complete the set very nicely. Are you gonna mount it to the e-brake handle?
