SRP aluminum pedals 991 GT3
Hate to burst anyones bubble.....but I went and ordered some, before receiving my car. Mistake. I don't think these will work for the GT3. Traditionally, pedals have a metal plate, and after removing the rubber cover, one can drill holes and place these. Not so with GT3. It looks like the gas pedal is plastic, and the aluminum/rubber "look" for the gas pedal, I believe is all silver/black plastic molded (no rubber on gas pedal or dead pedal). The dead pedal appears to be the same. I guess one could drill holes through them, and screw on the aluminum SRP......but I am not. Also, the brake pedal appears to be kept traditional, but instead of just a rubber cap, I think the cap is rubber/aluminum, so the only way to find out is to likely bend the aluminum portion while removing....so I chose not to do so. Anyone want a cheap set of SRP aluminum pedals??????????

and can confirm the 996-3 also has a plastic gasser. It is not an issue. Easier to drill too, unlike the brake pedal.

My 997.1 C2 had the same plastic gas pedal and dead pedal. The brake pedal had a aluminum & rubber cap that had to be pulled off. No problems installing aluminum pedals. Under the cap, the brake pedal is hard steel, so a new cobalt drill bit is necessary.

I got the Aluminum pedal upgrade on my Gt3 despite many who conveyed they were not worth it and better to purchase after market ones'. I have been very happy with the Porsche upgrade. Not slippery and they look the part.

Jimmy, can you post some close up pics? I can't really tell from Porsche's website.

Will do. Give me a day or two. It is night time and pouring rain so when we get some good weather will pull her out and snap a couple photos - she is all detailed and ready to go in to hibernation after Thanksgiving.

Are they extending the brake pedal for better left foot braking? I tried it again last weekened and my left leg went numb because of the pedal being offset to the right and making be twist lower back a bit. An extender should help, I guess.

I finally broke down and took my girl Scarlett to the track. I thought it would be interesting to left foot brake finally. I'd tried to teach myself many times, but it just wouldn't take. However, when I'm in an auto transmission car, even the 991 GT3, I instinctively left foot brake. But out on the track... no! I just couldn't do it. It was hugely frustrating, but I came to realize that I just pin my left leg on the dead pedal when I'm on track and there is no way I can overcome that, at least not without a 6 point harness. So, still no left foot braking.
