    what are you going for, grip or show?

    for grip just get the autozone special ...

    if you want show go with autovation, but they are slippery when wet, otherwise grip great

    for the autozone ones.. how did you mod the gas pedal.. did you use longer bolts?

    bought the car that way so i don't know how they where put on other then the previous owner made his own mounting brakets to make the pedals very secure as I guess they have a tendency to move around if installed how they come

    I think you would get better answers starting a new thread in troubleshooting.

    the gas pedal is plastic or hardened rubber so what i did was drill right through the middle of the pedal. 2 holes using the pedal cover as a guide.
    IMHO, the clutch cover will eventually start twisting and eventually end up where mine is ............in the back seat somewhere!
    autozone did have a set that didn't have the foldable clamps but actually came in a 2 pc set where you simply screw the pedal cover to a underside brace but i haven't seen them lately. when i do, i will make the switch!!

    oh...you gotta be carefull too. I wear timberland boots which can be a little wider than avg, so be sure that you allow yourself enough room btwn the brake cover and accelerator pedal. safety reasons of course.

    personally, i advise spending the the extra bucks for a nice set vs the $12.99 at auto zone

    yeah thats true.. i got the autozone ones and i kno what your talking about having some room between the acc. n brake.. im gonna have try to move the brake pedal over towards the clutch.
    and i have to mod the accel. pedal cause the damn thing is think plastic.

    I have a set of the cheap pedals... they're still aluminum though, for an MTX. Real cheap; PM me if you want them.
