That looks great Marc, very stealth and easily DE ready when the time comes.

i just installed mine as well (the drivers side last night, the passangers side is yet to do)
I had rennline powercoat them black for an even seathlier appearance.



and with the floor mat on it disapears.


i ordered and returned the pedal boards and pedal covers - no sense adding additional weight (the Alum pedal board is slightly heavier than the stock wood one (45g or so)

Looks good! I like the black too and debated about the colour to get long and hard!

The powder coating looks amazing.

Ya know, I think those covered in line-x would be nice. It would have a bit of grip as well.

Looks good!
How about the noise? Is it much more louder?

Greetings Christian

my car has no sound deading (anywhere) so....
no it did not really increase the noise

A stripped interior is much louder in every respect versus one with all the sound padding in place: rock noises hitting the underside, engine noise, tranny noise, tire noise...

add - gearbox whine (steel syncos) intake noise (cut airbox) as well

Marc Shaw

My car is not as far down the "full race car" slope as these other guy's so I can attest that I noticed no difference in noise (as I still have all the other sound insulation present.....for the moment).

you mention Varsol?

what is that? i'm really struggling with the glue

Marc Shaw

Varsol is a type of paint remover/thinner.

From Google:

Varsol®
What is Varsol®, and what can it do?
Answer: Varsol® is the registered trademark of a premium solvent and is guaranteed for its quality. Uses include thinning paints, cleaning surfaces and paintbrushes, and as an all-purpose degreaser.

What is the difference between Varsol® and regular Paint Thinner?
Answer: Regular Paint Thinner is a "generic" brand of thinner while Varsol® carries a guarantee of purity. As a result, Paint Thinner is usually less expensive than Varsol® but can be used for the same applications.

Can I use Varsol® as a degreaser?
Answer: Varsol® is an excellent degreaser for use on most metals, including automotive and industrial, and as a pre-treatment for gluing.

Can Varsol® be used to clean furniture?
Answer: Yes. Varsol®, in addition to its many other applications, is safe to use on most wooden surfaces. Because furniture has many different finishes, from antique polishes to modern plastic coatings, it is a good idea to pre-test in a hidden area first.

Marc, how much do those little puppies run? I REALLY like that idea.

Marc Shaw

US$165 for the driver's side and US$75 for the passenger side.

They have silver or black available.
