placed my order thursday night - pedal on my door step monday morning - WOW!

looking forward to the install this weekend - just need to go out and buy the drill bits.

Any suggestions on the type? (I have not looked to see what I will be drilling through yet - steel, plastic???)

The Pedals look great! Glad I got in on this group buy. now I just need to find a group buy for the Porsche Sport Exhaust Tips for a 99 996 C4 - hint, hint Gert. How 'bout a good deal on those???

Re: Installation. Check out these threads I started last week when I ordered the pedals. It should help.

Can't wait to see some pics of how these look for everyone. I will not be able to get to these until next weekend - so maybe some tips on what people encountered would be great.

Delivered this AM. Ok, you guys are gonna need to catch up.
Here's what they look like installed; took about a hour. aligning them took the most time.
Here's a tip; use velcro to hold the pedal in place to start the holes. Once you have them started, you can pull off the velcro and finish drilling. Worked like a charm, especially when trying to get the second pedal height lined up with the first





Vi mirror


V1 in back, kinda stealthy

The V1 mirror was offered for a while on a site called beastpower.com (and a couple of others); I picked mine up on e-bay; actually saw one in the last week or so. The V1 is on a 'z' shaped bracket tucked behind the rear seats with the cabling going up front. I made the bracket from aluminum at home depot. I've found that it works just as well as the windshield mounted units from some side-by side testing on some local p-car runs here in north. tx.

Bob and everyone, I started a new thread to discuss the V1 mounting procedure and related questions. If interested in Bobs V1 setup, please go to this thread to continue discussion of V1.

quick question - just about to start the install and wanted to know if you guys mounted the steel dead pedal on top of the plastic original one OR if you removed the original plastic one???

i read somewhere about someone removing the original plastic dead pedal but then not being able to drill holes because some bolt was in the way(under the carpet)???

thanks for any help!
