Does anyone know if any companies make a nice set of pedals for the 997 or if aftermarket units for the 996 will fit the 997?

I find the stockers somewhat uncomfortable for heel-toe shifting.

there are the aluminum ones from 'ruf'; look also at the ones from www.carnewal.com [in fact they are the same as the rufs' ones, but without the brand engraved]
carnewal has them for 996 and 997 types.

Those look perfect! Thanks.

Second that recommendation. I had a set on my 993 and they are awesome (look and function)

I had looked at the rennline pedals for my 996. I emailed them a couple days ago and they confirmed their current product does not fit 997's, but that they will have something out soon.

I have the Carnewal pedals on my '04 Carrera, and they look great (and they're on sale!):

The DO look great, and I assume work great also! I just took a close look at my OEM pedals and plastic footrest for the 1st time.... YUK! The Carnewal site lists them for the 996, don't see them for the 997 but wrote them about it. Are the original pedals attached by screws (under the rubber)? The plastic footrest doesn't appear to have screws either. Are they direct replacements or is some drilling/tapping required?

And $328US (250EU) is on sale?

Thanks!

I don't know about the 997 pedals, but on my 996, you remove the rubber caps from the brake and clutch. The aluminum pedals go directly over the stock gas and dead pedal. They are attached by machine screws so you need to drill 2 holes for each pedal (3 for the dead pedal). The gas, clutch and dead pedal are easy, since they are plastic, but the brake pedal is made from very hard steel and was a bitch to drill. Lining them up takes some patience, and you need to be a bit of a contortionist to get the lock nuts on the back of the pedals, but the result is worth it.

Unfortunately, with the Euro where it is vs. the dollar, buying stuff from Europe ain't cheap these days.

I just heard from Gert Carnewal and he is checking with a customer that just mounted the pedals in a 997. The gas/brake/clutch are the same but he is unsure of the footrest (my guess is it is fine also). I'll post his final answer here..

Thanks again!

Well, the good news is that Gert, upon hearing from a 997 owner that installed them, said the footrest is a perfect fit in the 997.. the bad news is mine just arrived and it isn't. Apparently in the 996 the bottom left of the footrest cuts back to the inside about 20 degrees (from the pictures i've seen) and in the 997 it doesn't. This leaves a piece of the old plastic footrest exposed. I'm goint to contact Gert to see what he can do...

Update - he is checking with the manufacturer on this..

Here it is in place.
