How do you install these?

Just got these pedals. Of course... no instructions! Should I remove the rubber pedals first before drilling?

haha you got a good deal.

I paid $100 delivered for those. Two bad they are still sitting in the closet!
I'm currently in power tool jail. I have none..

Basically you remove the rubber covers off of the old ones, use spring clamps or velcro to temporarily set the new ones in the desired position. use a marker or nail polish to paint the location of the holes. Get out the electric drill with a bit that can go trhough metal (the brake pedal is made of metal, others are plastic). Drill guid holes and then use the right size drill bit to accomodate your screws.
I think you screw the new dead pedal on the left, directly over the existing dead pedal cover, you don't have to remove anything.

p.s.
I was going to use thinner to remove the porsche lettering from the pedals, no doubt they will smear and look crap.

Thanks! I'll be heading to home depot for a drill bit set after work! I can't wait! Haha! I've never looked forward to going to Home Depot so much before! Personally I like the black lettering. They are already difficult enough to see.

I installed these pedals over a year ago. It is my recollection that you do not remove the rubber covers. They install right on top of the existing pedals, rubber and all. You may want to verify this with the seller. He used to include instructions.

That was a great price.

don't forget the velcro or the spring clamps. Sounds like a total pain in the arse to be working down there in that cramped space without them.
I think Home Depot will rent some power tools.. maybe you don't have to buy a power drill just for this mod.

Ya the price was right. I have already "taped" them on just to see how they look. Haha! They look pretty cool! I don't mind getting a drill set, it's something everyone should have. I'll send pics as soon as I get em installed this weekend. Thanks everyone!
