Got a couple of projects complete this weekend. I'm extremely pleased with the visual upgrade!

- Chris Walrod's gauge rings...I used 3M Putty and I think this is the way to go. I absolutely love the way they look...completely transform the look of the dash. Great job Chris.

- 996 Shifter...a 2 minute job, love it

- Aluminum Pedals...these were not easy. There were no instructions and it only came with 1/2 mounting hardware, which seemed inadequate to me. After a trip to Lowe's and a couple hours of measuring, drilling, and attaching, I think the result is great.

So along with the Lloyd's mats I put in a couple weeks ago, I think the interior is just about where I want it.

Nice work! I was thinking of doing some pedals myself too, but if you say it wasn't easy, I don't think I'll try it now. My capabilities for DIY stuff remains at self serve gas........

Looks great! I heard the dead-pedal is the tough one, was that true? Which pedal set did you end up going with? I'm leaning towards the Rennline with the rubber nubs. Looks similar to yours.

I scrapped the hardware that came with the kit. Here's what I used:

Gas Pedal - it was easier to remove it from the car to attach the new pedal. I used a Dremel to remove some of the plastic webbing on the back so the nut/washer would lay flush. I used Loctite on each screw, probably overkill

Brake/Clutch Pedal - Way too involved to remove the assembly, so I had to mount the new pedals while they were still in the car. This was the biggest pain because both pedals ideally need to be lined up evenly. Once you remove the rubber cover, you'll see that the metal is pretty hard, not sure if it's cast iron? As a result, the drill bit will walk on you. I found the best thing to do was to cover the new pedal in painters tape and tape it to the old pedal to use as a guide. Use small bits to work up to a large enough hole to pass the screws through, then secure them with nuts/washers/Loctite.

Dead Pedal - Use the self tapping screws. The bottom right screw was the hardest because the structure behind it isn't flat. I had to pull up the edge of the carpet to drill a small hole from an angle and then I put the carpet back down. After about 20 minutes of finagling the screw, I was finally able to catch the hole and secure it in. The top screw and bottom left screw were no problem.
