TL-S Pedals

Did anyone change the stock pedals to one of those aluminum pedals? Is it a good/bad idea? Is it difficult to change? Any change after installing the aluminum pedals?

I've looked around and have seen quite a variety of pedals.
Anyone recommend any that do not require drilling on an 02' TLS?

Also, what is involved in getting the lighted pedals? I'm not sure if they are too cheesy or not yet, but curious about the install process.

Thanx.

Mostly for looks. Its a big up for me because I mostly wear sandles in FL and drive my car barefooted so I like the feel of the little rubber balls on the pedals. Also the brake pedal is bigger. The bad thing is if you installed them incorrectly or you have those stick on pedals, then it might come off while you're driving and cause an accident. Also some can make the pedals too close together. They aren't hard to install, but that depends on what type you get. But still its mostly for look.

I just got the same Razos; look great. Did you have to remove anything on the accerator pedal? I'm finding it hard to attach the base bracket against the existing pedal since it is angled and it just slips off. Or is it just bending the metal on the bracket to fit

Thanks.

Question TL pedal design?

Hey all, we're about to design a new pedal for the TL. I was just wondering what everyone thinks a good design would be? Here's our CL pedal:







You can e-mail suggestions to jw@autovation.net

Thanks!

Pedal Installation..

Yes. These are drilled on and installation time is about 30 minutes. Drilling it the most secure method. Other methods tend to come loose over time and become a saftey issue.

However, I'm kinda just looking for design ideas here?

how about bigger holes? I personally like big holes on pedals.
I guess you can make the S red also?

I'm sorry but we really can't do either of these requests. I have seen a customer paint the recessed lettering and clear coat over it. It looked nice and seemed to work well.

Aftermarket pedals are a GREAT interior upgrade for a VERY small cost. I would say that they are a great investment.

I have Razo Aluminum pedals... no drill necessary... looks so much nicer than the regular rubber pedals. Easy to install too by the way.

This installation...is it on a TL or CL. Will these pedals fit on the TL as well? I always thought they were the same but I got an email from autovation and they said it was for CL and hasn't been tested for fitting on the TL. Anyone know if it's the same or not?

I am working with Autovation to get them to properly fit.. I sent them pictures and templates of our pedals. He said hopefully within a week or 2 the pedals should be ready for testing.. I will update everyone when I get them and take pics...

So these won't fit properly on our cars? What's the difference between the CL and TL? I thought it shared almost everything.

don't worry about the drilling, if you don't like it, you can always put the black rubbers back on and you won't see the holes. I'm going to assume the CL's fit the TL's?? Aren't they the same pedal??
