I have the Cargraphic aluminum pedals (available with or without scripts) and have been happy with them. I paid ~ $250 about a year ago. I got them direct from Cargraphics USA down in NJ.

For installation, I made a paper template, just to make sure the holes were straight before drilling...it seemed to help.

Here is the email I received:

Hi Mike,

Thank you for your interest in Ruf products.

The RGT kit consists of a front spoiler, side skirts, rear spoiler, and
a mirror set.
The package sells for $ 5300.00 USD

If we sell the kit individually and leave out the mirrors, there is good
savings.

Front spoiler $1550.00 USD
Side skirts $888.00 USD
Rear spoiler $2088.00 USD
Mirror set $995.00 USD

The installation should be performed by the best body shop in your
vicinity, and requires the front aluminum rebar to be shortened 1" on
either side.

The process for installation is Fitting , Prime , Prep , Paint ,
Reinstall, the parts arrive in primer from the factory.

The installation cost usually runs $1500.00 - $ 1700.00 USD

The 3 piece pedal set is $299.00 USD and $100.00 additional for the
footrest (reg $199.00 ) through the month of January. We are also
offering free shipping this month, 2-7 day delivery to your location.
Installation takes 1 hour , hardware and instructions are included.
We accept Visa/ Mcard with a completed credit card form.
I have attached some pictures of the installed product.

Please let me know if I can supply more information.

Thanks,

Andrew Sampson

Parkman,
The brake and clutch pedals are drilled after removing the rubber covers. Stainless steel flat head screws with lockwasher and nuts installed from rear.
The paper templates were a big help; just cut them out and tape them to the pedals to ensure alignment on pedal before drilling.
The dead pedal just screws in on top of the carpet. The gas pedal just installs over the existing pedal with the same screws; nothing is removed.

I am awaiting delivery for the Ultimate Pedal's set for my car. I found them on ferrarichat.com because I was looking for the same non-slip milling as in the Ferraris. You can view their excellent workmanship at the following website: www.ultimatepedals.com

We make to order pedals for most cars on the road today.

We are in the process of updating our website to include an online catalog with ohotos and prices.

Prices are:

1) Basic pedal kit (smooth with countersunk holes gas, anti slip with
countersunk holes brake/clutch pedals) $99.
2) Flat footrest kit (smooth with countersunk holes) $39.
3) Flat footrest kit (anti slip with countersunk holes ) $59.
4) Add anti-slip engraving to gas pedal $15.
5) Add heel/toe extension to gas pedal $15.

Regarding a hee/toe gas pedal, we can make whatever you want, but typically there are two designs that
satisfy what most people want.

The three types are:

1) a triangular shaped 1" to 1.5" lower left corner extension if you tend to use your heel to apply the
gas while braking
2) a left side extension (typically in the range from 1/2" to 1") from top
to bottom if you tend to roll your foot to apply the gas while braking.
3) Combine 1 and 2, a 1/2" to 1" extension along the top left hand side of the pedal which translates into a triangular shaped 1" to 1.5" lower left corner extension.

Our kits include mounting instructions and stainless steel fasteners.

No questions asked, money back guarantee if you are not satisfied with the
fit or finish.

Please e-mail me if you would like product photos for your car at sales@ultimatepedals.com.

"contortionist" refers to someone who can bend their body very far in weird ways. for instance, the word "contortionist" could be used to describe somebody who could fit their entire body into the trunk of a 996 with the lid closed.
