Frequently Asked Questions

Shiny/Frosted Difference

Our: 1) shiny finish is very bright and is the same as a brushed finish. 2) frosted finish is not shiny and is similar to the cast aluminum parts of your engine, also called a mat or satin finish. If you held a shiny and frosted pedal outside in the sunlight the shiny finish would blind you while the frosted would not reflect the sunlight.

Basic vs Deluxe Pedal Sets

The only difference between the basic and deluxe pedals set is the deluxe pedal set includes the dead pedal or footrest and the basic set has just the gas and brake (automatic) or brake and clutch (manual) and parking brake (where applicable) pedals.

Heel Toe Gas Pedal

No problem to make wider gas pedals to make it easier to perform heel toe downshifting. At the end of the day it's about comfort and driving style. We recommend sitting in the car with your right foot hanging off the brake pedal by an amount you are comfortable with and see how much needs to be added to the gas pedal to be able to blip it with the right side of your foot. There is no right or wrong amount. It's best to add the minimum amount required to avoid an unsafe condition. You can view a video here: Heel Toe Video (specifically at times 0:17sec,0:27sec, 0:58sec, 1:23sec)

Mounting Instructions

We include mounting instructions with every order. You can review our recommended mounting procedures at the following link: How to Install If you are OK with wrenches, screwdrivers, and electric drill it should not be a problem. The hardest part is reaching the pedals (kneeling down next to the car, seat pulled back, head under steering wheel).

Installation Shops

We have had good success recommending local car stereo installation shops (mom and pop, not the big chain stores). They are used to this kind of work.

Pedal Extensions

Many customers have spaced our pedals by stacking washers (28 washers per screw per inch) between the back of our aluminum pedal and the front of the factory pedal. We can include longer mounting screws to allow you to space the pedals off the stock pedals (up to 1") by stacking washers on each screw (we recommend using four screws per pedal). To extend the pedals up to 2.25" you will need longer screws than we carry and more washers or taller spacers.
