My Rennline pedals arrived today, so I took about 30 minutes this afternoon to install them, with the help of the tips and articles on this board:
A few comments on the install:
- The masking tape suggestion outlined in the Ultimate Pedals install article is a must-do. Definitely makes marking your holes with a Sharpie a lot easier and more visible.
- Definitely start by installing the brake pedal since it's metal and rather difficult to drill through. All of the other pedals have plastic bases. Use titanium drill bits and press down firmly with the drill. Luckily I managed not to break any drill bits with this install. Oh, and an auto center punch really helps a LOT.
- The instructions that come with Rennline's set are very good. Basically all you need is a Phillips screwdriver, a 3/16' drill bit for the clutch and brake pedals, and a 1/16' bit for the throttle and dead pedals. The clutch and brake pedals mount with locking nuts so threadlocker isn't required. The throttle and dead pedals mount with 3 and 2 metal self-tapping screws, respectively. You also get a bag of 25 extra rubber grip inserts when you buy the set.
Just wanted to express my appreciation to the previous posters who described this (very easy) install. Saved me a bit of $ not having to have someone else install the pedals for me, and I got to get my hands dirty playing with the car!
Have you had a chance to drive the car with the new pedals? If so, how do they feel in comparison to the stock pedals? I really like the way they look but have always been reluctant to install aftermarket pedals for fear of losing any of the feel or comfortof stock.
Anyway, nice job.

Thanks for the comments.
I just drove the car this morning with the new pedals, and the feel of the pedals is noticeably different from the stock pedal covers - but not in a bad way. The clutch and brake pedals have a definite grippier feel because of the raised domed rubber grip inserts. This does affect my footwork when using the clutch because previously I would let the ball of my left foot 'slide' on the clutch pedal when releasing it, while keeping my heel on the floor. I'm noticing that you can feel the 'drag' on the sole of your shoe a little more now, but that may also have something to do with the fact that I wear cross trainers with indentations in the thick soles. Haven't tried them with driving shoes yet (which have relatively smooth and thinner soles).
Also, the dead pedal is different in that it 'wraps' over the OEM pedal. You can't see it in the pictures above, but the dead pedal isn't a single flat piece - it's more of a L-shaped piece that goes over the right side of the dead pedal. I also noticed that my foot catches a little on this overhanging portion of the dead pedal, but that is a minor gripe and it tells me to move my left foot a little more to the right when engaging the clutch. The throttle pedal feels the same, more or less.
I made one change to the recommended installation. Rather than place the new dead pedal over the stock unit, I removed the stock unit (very easy) and attached the new pedal directly to the plastic structure behind the existing pedal. IMO the fit is much better and it moves the new pedal about 3/8 of inch closer to the floor, providing better feel and reducing the interference referred to by Interpol.
If you want to use two screws, as recommended by Rennline, you will need a slightly longer screw for the top mounting point as there is a trough in the structure behind the pedal. I used one screw in at the bottom mount point and the pedal does not move at all (I pulled on it pretty hard as a test), but I will probably get another screw for the top mount point.
They do look very nice. Did you think about moving the seat a bit to compensate for the added thickness, or the difference is so small that one just does not feel it ?

Nah, the difference is only slightly noticeable but not enough to require extra pedal effort or moving the seat.
One more tip: when installing the throttle pedal, just line up the bottom and right edges with the existing pedal, then mark your drill holes. After covering in masking tape, of course.
