Some Mods Installed

I just moved to a house with a garage and it is nice to do mods in the garage. I did the following last weekend

- AE Door Sills(Look ok, not real flashy)
- AE Pedals(Look very good, accelerator pedal was hard to install)
- Rewired fogs(Kinda cool)
- Rewired turn signals to flash with turn indicator(Looks good, especially since I have clears)

Coming up next weekend...

- Painting the calipers red
- Putting exhaust tips on the muffler

Thanks to everyone on this website for the ideas and the how-to's.

What did you find hard about installing the AE accelerator pedal? I put the AE pedals on my 2k3 last weekend and I thought the write-up made it sound WAY harder than it actually was.

I'm not really a mechanic so it was a major deal for me to get under the steering wheel and try to unhook the acceleration wire clip. But it was well worth it, the pedals look really nice and really compliment my car.

Oh, I gotcha...you replaced the whole assembly. I just took the pedal off the AE assembly and put it on my existing one. I have a 2k3 so I had to do it that way. There's just one little plastic clip holding it on, with a small flathead screwdriver you can have the pedal off in 30 seconds. Did you do the 350z dead pedal as well?

I have not done the dead pedal mod yet, do you know who the person is that I can order that from? I remember some time back someone on the org was making them and selling them.

Wild ***** makes the replicas and sells them, or you can also put the actual 350z one on there.

Put mine in Thursday after work. Once I popped out the plastic ring at the top it was a breeze. BTW, you don't need to use anything to pry on the brake cover if you use two hands .
