How do i install these things? The instructions SUCK, it seems like it was written in another language and poorly translated to english. Ugg. Anyone installed pedals before, and know how to do it? IM guessing its the same for any type of pedal, or at least similar.
Thanks

I advice against using radioactive pedals. They have been found to cause cancer in Labatory animals.

Attenion:
(1) When pedal stepped down completely, be sure, which does not touch an place downwar and if reture is stable.

i dunno

I'm about to duct tape the ractive to my pedals

I think i'm gonna use zip ties to secure the back piece to my pedal then put the front piece on and bolt it... ?

I had a set of Razos

The razos strap on around the back of the pedal like a backpack strap and you are supposed to apply some double sided tape to the back of the pedal cover so that it sticks to the atually pedal. One concern is I've heard stories of the reacing pedal covers to come undone while driving. Stick or auto, it doesn't matter, you don't want this to happen.

These dont have little backpack things.
im guessing the double sided tape is to prevent the slippage.

I can't help ya dude.. my advice is to save up and get real pedals

I just installed the Razo carbon fiber pedals a few days ago.. heel/toeing is sooooo much easier now that the brake/accelerator pedals are about 2" apart, whereas before they were 4-5" aparat.

I'm not a big fan of pedals because most people get them just for looks.. which is why I went with the CFs.. they don't stand out due to the black color.. looks stockish.

the way i tried to install them was u bend the two things on the gas pedal back and u use the double sided tape
however after slippage i just otook out the 4 screws
and i drilled into my pedal
and then screwed it back in
that seemed to werk.
