This is a great "eye candy" mod. Very easy, and really perks up the view of the footwell.

I have the Tech Arts, no slipping, but if i had to do it all over again, I like the look of the Ruf with the rubber

The Turbo pedals are from Cargraphic. Yes, they make a dead pedal which is on my "must get" list. I haven't had any trouble with slippage as the raised metal blocks provide adequate friction.

Just take your time, don't rush. I actually did it over two weekends (total time about 4 hours) because I didn't understand how hard the brake pedal was to drill.....by the way be sure to get a couple of drill sizes so you can use a small one as a pilot.

And you'll have to use Jedi like concentration to get the nuts on the back end of the accel pedal where it is next to the transmission tunnel.

I installed mine and while tedious for the cramped space, it was relatively easy to do. I did use an 18-volt cordless drill which worked fine. As mentioned, just take your time on the metal brake pedal. The dead and accelerator pedals are pretty much self aligning. The clutch and brake are more difficult but what I did was to align each as best possible, drill one of the holes and insert and tighten one of the bolt and nuts in this hole. Then I was able to make fine alignment adjustments from a distance to ensure proper alignment. Then I drilled the second hole which with its bolt installed, held the new pedal in place for the final hole. Here's the results...
