I got my pedals today and they are pretty nice. Any tips on the install and how do I do it.

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.

Got mine about 3 weeks ago. I have yet to install them.

Make sure you get longer bolts for the brake pedal before you start, it will save time. I could only get the bottom two drilled into the brake pedal because I didn't have enough room to drill the top ones. I made sure to use locktite just in case and doesn't move a bit.

Take Smittys advice and sand the black off of the clutch and brake:

It looks so much better that way
