Took me like, 6 hours to get the brake and clutch pedals on. I hope they'll last forever because I don't want to ever do that again.
Everyone was complaining how hard the gas pedal was, it took me like 5 min. and a nice cut on my hand
But damn it took almost 2 hours to get the brake and clutch pedal on, what a PITA!
Thanks Timeless, where the heak were you when I was puttin them in!

yeah, my brake pad fell off 2 months ago.

They are a PITA, but they are definitely worth it in the end.
I think it took me 1 hour total to do the dead pedal and gas pedal (includes time swapping, walking into house to get tools, and drink a beer or two)
And then it took me an hour each for the brake and clutch pedal!! I did the hot water method. Just make sure you aren't going to drive the car afterwards so you can let the rubber cool back down otherwise they may still be soft and come off when you step on them with your foot.
But yeah, they look good, esp in a dark interior

I did the Steeda ones, and they are a ****** too. Need's for holes in each pedal. Make sure you use a carbide bit on your drill that's designed for steel/metal otherwise u'll be there all day. Took me about 3 hours
Something you would think would be the simplest mod on our cars, but turned out to be the biggest pain in the arse for me too. Took me hours, until i figured out boil them for 5 min and use soapy water after that, and they go on easily.
For some reason though, i keep cracking the plastic loop/hump on the back of the gas pedal when i am at the track and slamming it to the floor. I'm on my 3rd gas pedal because of this reason. I wish the pin loop thing was made of metal on the back side. Is this happening to anybody else?

the metal pressure fitting that keeps the gas pedal in place slid on me and my pedal fell off while driving.
i ended up putting a 1/4" bolt and nut in there to keep it on. i couldnt get that pressure fitting back in there for the life of me.

Took me a couple of hours too and that's with boiling them and lubing them. The gas was the problem for me as I replaced the whole linkage. Squeezing into that small spot didn't help my back either.
If I were to do it a second time it would probably take about 20 minutes.

Took me 45 minutes to do all 3. Pulled the gas pedal completely out and used my vise and a center punch to get out and reset the pressure pin. I slid, with alot of force, the clutch and brake pedal on from the bottom of the pedal up, and used a nail set under to top edge to pull it up over the top of each pedal. Overall not too bad.

Yep, boiling them first for about 5 minutes does the trick. The brake and clutch are still a PITA though!! Worth it in the end, much nicer then stock. Not to mention my stock brake and gas pedals were beyond worn out.

wow maybe i got lucky? it took me 40-50 mins to install brake/clutch/gas pedal in TWO cars
boiled em for ~2-3 mins till the rubber was nice and soft, dried them off real quick and installed them as best i could with just my hands (wearing gloves) and then mashed them down with my foot while twisting a little to work it on all the way. worked like a charm
gas pedal i just removed the whole thing since it was only 2 bolts and swapped that outside the car

I know its not the best way to do it but I couldnt do it with hot water and soap.....so i cut a slice in the rubber and got em on then used rubber cement to fix the slice...Havent had a problem since and they look AWESOME!
