Ok. So I got my OMP 1000's in the mail yesterday.

I'm pretty clueless when it comes to stuff like pedals. Here are some assumptions I have made about installing these pedals. Let me know if I'm on the right track or not, or any suggestions you have.

I assume this is a 2/3 beer process. And...
1. You take the stock rubber pedal covers off. Are they even covers?
2. Drill holes into the metal pedal (that sounds funny....) under the rubber.
3. Bolt pedals down tightly.
4. Drive car with new pedals and drink more .

 

 

you got it. Just make sure that there is room for the nut on the other side fo the pedal before you drill the hole...

 

That is pretty much it. Altough you should not drink and drive...
Try to position the new pedals to improve your heel /toe technique if you which.

 

I assumed you guys knew I wasn't driving drunk....

Although with my we-todd mechanic skills, I may have to just keep drinking after installation and drive much, much later on, maybe even just wait till the next day!

 

glad I could help Chris

 

Don't forget your dremel tool... My OMP's didn't cover the metal pads fully, so I had to grind and grind and... ...turned out to be a 6 pack job, but they look and feel great!

 

Mine look like they ought to cover with no problem... I hope so, I have no dremel and NO dremel experience!!

 

I installed the same pedals about 2 months ago. They're pretty easy, just be careful when drilling the pedal for the gas pedal. I only put one screw in that one because there isn't really room to drill another and it fits snugly with just one, but more power to you if you can get both in there. The other two pedals were a breeze!

 

After a second look, the actual 'pedal' seems to be plastic. Well, at least not some sort of steel/metal. Can anyone confirm this? If so, any regular drill bit would do the trick.

 

in order to get the plastic cover off the gas pedal, pry the top off with a pair of pliers and then just slide the cover down and off. that's probably the most annoying part of the whole install...

You must be talking about the gas pedal. There's a hard plastic cover over a formed sheet metal backing. There's a little tab at the top of the cover that you can pry up with a screwdriver and slide it down and off. I took my entire gas pedal out to put my cover on. It was easy enough to get out, just unhook the cable from the top, unhook the return spring, straighten and remove the cotter pin from the pivot (don't loose those little washers!). Getting it back in was kind of a PITA -- getting the return spring back on was a bitch.

 

It's easier then you think, just do it.
