Did you pre-drill??

I took off the emergency brake and brake pedal. The gas pedal does not come off. You must drill through it. It actually makes it much easier to do.

i used the nuts and bolts for emer brake.

but i am not sure about gas pedal.

The gas pedal uses the self-tapping screws.

intimate fit...

I have the pedals for TL-S and I had to go get screws from Home Depot because the screws they came with weren't long enough. There is a slight fitment problem with the pedal being curved but if you predrill the holes and get longer screws, you'll be fine. It took me a whole afternoon because the stupid drill bit kept breaking. One got stuck and took me 2 hrs just to get the bit out of the brake pedal. GET DRILL LUBE! I didn't have it and the heat geneterated can break the bit.

thx, dragon.
i thought i would need longer screws!..

and i broke 2 bits on the brake pedal..

haha..for those who have yet to install their pedals...get drill lube! It will save you a lot of problems with the drill bits breaking.

man i couldn't be happier with my pedals...i spent 25$ for the install at a local shop...it wasn't worth the headache he and everyone else was experiencing...the only problem is that if you keep on the rubber pad from the ebrake and drill through it, your screws wont be long enough...so he just used longer screws...the matte finish scratches easily so watch out...100$ for some pedals that look and perform better than mugens 125$-185$, i like that a lot...you will notice how much more these pedals increase contact with your foot allowing you to drive better in my opinion...Shyne

The pedals look great. I'd buy a set just for the dead pedal and e-brake since I already have the Mugen pedals. Whats the difference between the polish and matte finish??
