Autovation pedals for all you TLP/CLP owners (pics)

Well since I don't have a TypeS and it would be lame to put TypeS pedals on my car, Autovation made me a set of pedals with the Acura "A" symbol on the brake pedal, instead of the TypeS.

Should have them by the weekend.

Oh and if you're wondering, the pedal on the left is for my emergency brake.

Make sure you tell them you want the "A" symbol, not the TypeS.

What is required of the installation? Do you have to drill into the factory pedals?

Very nice. I wouldn't mind paying $75 if the e-brake pedal is also included. Anyone install these yet? Is it a PITA?

Sorry guys been away. I would email them and ask them if they can do the second set on the page, exchanging the clutch pedal for the e-brake.

Found the installation instructions on AutoVation website. http://www.autovation.net/articles/tech/Pedal/tech.htm

Looks like a major PITA, but the finished product looks like it is worthwhile.

Exclamation i'm cheating!

i already have a cool set of aftermkt pedals on, and they were a pita! they are a non stick black rubber surface with matte finish. so i'm just going to drill the new pedals onto the old, add some 3m molding tape on the sides for extra stick'em and the black rubber will show through the holes of the new pedals! paint the white lettering on the ebrake, hell indelible marker would even do. screw that on. the dead pedal is just zip-zip! i'll post a before and after pic when i'm done.

i've had mine on for a few months now and i love them! hard as hell to install. ask , he gave up and just glued them on. i had a professional drill and went through 4 drill bits. definitely hard to drill with very little room to work with. the screws were also too short. i had to get longer screws to fit them properly.

How did you drill the 4 holes for the brake pedal? No Room. Did you use an angled drill-head?? What about the gas pedal?? Did you pre-drill before putting the screws in?? I do not want to crack the pedal when I install the screws.
Any help with members who have installed the pedals would be appreciated.

What I did was take a 2x4 and press the brake pedal all the way to the floor. Wedged the 2x4 between the pedal and the frame for the front seat. That way I was able to get under there and drill it.
