ITC-I am confused. I got my pedals, but it looks like a straightforward install. Just unscrew teh rubber pedals and screw on the Cargraphics pedals. Why did you have to make templates and drill (and what did you drill)?

I got them from Cargraphics. I think the set was about $350.
Contact at Cargraphics is:

Ibanez,
In installing the RUF pedals I had to drill:
1. The dead pedal area (Plastic)
2. The Clutch and Brake Pedals, after removing the rubber covering (very Hard metal, which tended to cause the drill to drift). In my '01, the rubber pedals were not screwed on, but fitted.
3. The gas pedal (plastic again).
The holes in the RUFs don't matchup with any existing holes, and there are no holes predrilled in the Clutch and Brake pedals. Looking at the picture of the Cargraphic pedals, The installation should be very similar, with small bolts and locking type nuts.
Placement of the new clutch and brake will be critical for your driving comfort, so you'll want to ensure the holes are drilled exactly where you want to place the pedals. Templates help in placement.

Ibanez, I just used a standard high speed drill bit. Use a right angle drill motor, it will make indexing and drilling much easier. Standard drill motor will make it difficult unless you have a very very short bit or drill motor. Once you remove the stock pedals, just cover the pedals with masking tape, position the Cargraphics pedal and mark with a felt tip, and drill the holes. Becareful when positioning the pedals, there is no room for mistakes. The hole are positioned very close to the edge of the pedal.
You will also notice that the Cargrpaphic pedals are much flatter and need to be bent into shape of the stock pedals when bolting them down.

I actually just screwed my dead pedal right into the plastic and didn't have to drill. However, I can't seem to get the gas pedal off. I think there may be a screw in back holding it on, but ran out of time yesterday to investigate further. I was thinking I might just screw the Cargraphics gas pedal right over the existing one and not worry about taking it off, but not sure about the extra thickness this would add. Any insight would help...

Actually, let me clarify, I unscrewed the existing dead pedal (which only had one screw holding it on) and screwed the Cargraphics dead pedal right into the carpet/plastic. I didn't screw the Cargraphics dead pedal into the existing dead pedal as I figured I would keep the stock dead pedal in a box "untouched" in case I wanted to switch back later.

I installed the gas pedal right over the existing plastic pedal, no noticable effect. I'm not sure that there's a platform under that to drill into anyway.
