*pics* Sparco Aluminum GRIP pedals

I recently bought these on ebay for $55 shipped....and all I have to say is WOW...what a difference aftermarket pedals can make....before yesterday, I thought pedals were such an overrated part to buy for a car...I now think differently....my first impressions were, overall better control of the clutch and brakes....a much more comfortable surface for my feet...and finally, it dresses up the interior so nicely...
one thing that significantly changed is my ability to heel toe downshift....I can now heel toe very very easily...its feels great! if u notice in the picture, the brake pedal and gas pedal are spaced real close together (instead of evenly spaced out).....I purposely did this becuz I wanted to make heel toe downshifting a breeze...

How are they installed? Over the existing ones? or do they replace the OEM?

clutch and brake pedals I took off the rubber covers to expose the bare metal plates... drilled those with the brake pedal being closer to the gas pedal side...as for the gas pedal, there is no metal plate behind it, its just a rubber pedal with an arm...so I drilled through the stock rubber arm and bolted it on top of the stock unit...u can kinda tell in the pix

are you doing the conventional heel toe method (heel swings rightward towards the gas while the toe is still on brake) or ball of your foot pivoting method. The maxima doesn't provide much room to do the first method but since the brake and gas are so close it makes the second method easier

I've been trying to figure out how to heel-toe shift with my autotragic, but haven't figured it out yet!
nice mod. Someday I'll stop being lazy and start doing little things like that.

use the easier method of what soonerfan described
