ORIGINAL: aftershock00

those are good instuctions.....but its still a pain in the ***. The way mine screwed in...the clutch and brake pedals dont have a flat surface on the back so it made drilling them really annoying. Probably wasnt worth it but o well...they look good.
You couldn’t be more correct, aftershock! Now I know why everyone goes the easy route with the FRPP slip-ons – this fuggin project was a bit<h and some change! [:@] She’s all done though – pictures below to prove it. I did end up going with the metal, self-tapping screws (a bag of 22 was like .98 cents at Lowes).

The hardest part of this project, and I DO MEAN THE HARDEST was drilling through the fuggin metal stock dead pedal and clutch/brake pedals!!! Take my word for it – I think they make the shat outa hardened titanium! I went through 2 drill bits, and broke off 1 screw throughout the process.

Drilling the curved clutch and brake pedals was DEF the most difficult part though. I’m just glad that this one is over – hope this info helps anyone else thinking about this mod!

Well, after driving around with the new pedals for a couple of days, I might take em off [&o]. They’re a little bigger than the stockers, and as a result my foot catches on the clutch pedal on occasion. Plus, the clutch pedal when fully depressed rubs on the floor mat (and will eventually rub a hole in it [:@]). You really don’t have a whole lot of room for placement considering the size of the stock pedals, angle of the pedals, and location of the after market pedal mounting holes (I tried to locate them in the most ideal position, but it’s still not good enough). So anyone thinking about this mod, take that into consideration before buying.

But at least I only paid $26 for em, so if I go back to the stock or to the FRPP slip-ons (around $60), I’m not out that much $$$...

your very correct on that piont^^^^^^^. I had thoes bad boys on my truck and the screws ripped a hole in my carpet and my shoe laces would get stuck on the screw tips, not to safe considering that my foot would get stuck sometimes on the clutch and gas.
