Just installed new aluminum pedals from SRP
After much research, I decided to order a set of the Grid aluminum pedals with Satin finish from Sullivan Racing Pedals (SRP).
They took about a week to ship, and one day to get them via USPS Express mail.
Great service and communication from Brian at SRP.
I got the box on Friday, and was very pleased with the quality of the pedals and foot rest, as well as the fit and finish. They look great, and came with everything needed for the installation, along with a good set of instructions.
As a DIY kind of person, and having done this before for other cars, I expect it would take me 30 minutes maximum. It ended taking me a bit longer, as I didn't consider the position of the drill holes, which ended up too close to the back member of the pedal, not allowing me to screw the locking nut in the back.
But after learning on the clutch, I did the brake next with no issues.
By the way, did you know that the Porsche clutch pedal is made of aluminum, while the brake is reinforced steel?!!! Weird. For that reason, it was 10X harder and longer to drill the holes in the brake than the clutch. At least I made my learning mistake on the clutch and not the brake!
The foot rest and gas pedal are super easy to install as they simply screw to the existing ones with self tapping screws.
I really like the look of theses pedals, and the grip and comfort is excellent.
Highly recommended!
Here's a couple of pics with them installed:

Hellllzzzz yeah!!!! Looks awesome
I just ordered from SRP last week. I asked him to make mine are a little different though. only 4 holes per pedal. Black anodized first then the faces will be ground to different thicknesses and a silver finish. I also asked for the gas pedal to be smoother than the rest.
Question, was the bolt placement on the gas and clutch only possible where they are placed in your car? I need to tell him to figure this out since I asked for the fewest holes possible.

For the Gas pedal, you can put the screws almost anywhere. For the clutch and brake, the 3 holes I used were the best possible in my opinion. I originally drilled 4, the 2 outer ones on the second and third rows. Problem is, the ones on the third row get too close to the support beam on the back, and you can't fit the lock nuts. That is why I had to use plan B and use the center hole on row 4.
So, in short, for clutch and brake, two outer holes (left and right) on row 2 and center hole on row 4.

You need to post a pic when you get them. Your description of your version sounds really nice.

Brian said you can put washers under the gas pedal to raise it... vastly improves heel toe shifting. He said even 1 washer thickness can make a big difference because the brake pedal is too high

So far I'm really enjoying them!
