Talk to Super Computers as he has some stuff left. Otherwise, I think Excelerate took them over and is selling them now.

looking forward to your response..

thanks so much

It's been about 3 months now since I've installed by pedals. They all seem to be still secure. The only thing is when it rains down here or if I step into some water and I jump into my ride and hit the pedals sometimes my foot slips right off the rubber inserts. But, all in all I guess that will also when I just had the stock rubber pieces on only. I still love the new pedals though!

Just did this install and would like to thank Buda, Pikabb and everyone else who had input. I mounted my brake pedal on the rubber cover per pikabb's instructions and it worked out great. I have to admit, the gas pedal was by far the worst as I had to really get in there to screw on the bolts and maybe it's me, but my dexterity in close quarters is somewhat meager at best. All in all, it's a fairly easy install and really adds to the interior look of the car. Special thanks to morphguy12 for selling me the pedals and being an awesome seller.

Check the Black market like I did. I waited awhile until someone posted them for sale, and I jump on it real quick. I check the black market like everyday. now all I need is the Illuminated Door Sills in red.

Thanks just used these instructions! I dont know how you get the washers on the two top gas pedal bolts.. its IMPOSSIBLE!! haha.. I didnt put them on and they are fine. Thanks again! These are the ebay ones, not the supercomputer ones.. I got these because it has the matching gas pedal.

Thanks for this DIY. I just used it to install my pedals from:
http://www.uniquestyleracing.com
I used the "Attach to the OEM Brake Rubber" method and they turned out well.

Glad to see this DIY is still helping people out. I've been gone from the forums for so long that I am just now seeing some of the more recent posts.

Ah - so glad I saw the note on the brake pedals. I stopped after the gas because it was getting dark and I was having a hard time figuring out a good way to drill through the metal.

Another tip for the install (the gas pedal) is to use a 6mm extension. That way you can drop the nut into the hole and put the washer on top of it then slide it in when you have the pedal leveled (assuming you're not taking it off at the top). This may it much easier to put the 2 top nuts and washers in.

The car look so much more aggressive with the pedals! Super awesome!

It feels sturdy and saved me a lot of work. Here are some pics to add to the DIY...

Underside where you can see the bolts that need to be cut down. I used a Dremel with a cutting disc and it went through the butter...

Here's a side shot of the brake pedal after installing...

The finished product (spring cleaning is coming)...

From a distance...

With my dirty all weather mats (I like the look of the silver on black)

Other trick is:

1. Remove brake rubber
2. Line is up on the alum pedals
3. drill holes into the rubber (when it's lined up with alum pedal)
4. put rubber back on floor pedals
5. user holes as guides to drill into medal (much easier than holding the damn alum pedal)

Worked perfectly for me :-)

Unique Style Racing Pedals

Hey, thanks for the excellent write-up! I used your instructions to install the Aluminum set of uniqe style racing pedals. That brake pedal was a mutha! Ended up breaking 3 drill bits... and yes they were the titanium, but I will admit that I was pressing hard and down at an angle which is what contributed to the breakage...

Sorry for crappy pic, but only had my old school non-smart phone to take when I was done:
