I would try that first. Is it drilled into the OEM plastic dead pedal like the gas pedal?

it is drilled in similar to the gas pedal - so will have to close my eyes occasionally so I don't notice the drill holes ...a bummer, but minor in the scheme of things - will assume [foolishly?] that an OEM replacement is pretty cheap

depth, not spacing

Do you think the extenders are needed with the 997s? I have a C2S, and the biggest problem is actually the offset in depth between the brake and throttle, which I know they sell that throttle pedal spacer for. I actually find the pedals to be closer together than they were in my 996!

I think they make a gun metal also.

If you track your car, make sure to get the toe and heel extensions! They are money!

The extender has a 1/8" plastic plate that goes between your OEM gas pedal and the new Rennline pedal. I would estimate that the pedal is 1/4 higher up with the stock height. The toe extensions are very nice, and make rev matching a breeze.

a try..

I suppose I can always buy them to give them a try and return them if I don't like them...the extenders don't drill into the pedal, they just screw on and off right?

I'm tempted to get these pedals, but hesitating on having to drill into OEM parts, which most likely won't be cheap to replace. Any other options? different manufacturers, maybe?

They all mount this way, and if you ever sell the car leave the pedals in place, or clean up the two holes and no one will notice, unless they are looking for it. The brake and clutch are covered with the OEM caps.

Mine did the same thing....they use bad nuts and screws poor grade metal in their screws. Go to Home Depot and get one to replace them and it works great.

How did you guys drill the brake? It's metal and I'm having very difficult time drilling the hole. I've used 4 different drill bit including a titanium one, but I can't punch through and the drill slides everywhere. I was able to put the accelerater and clutch pad on.

Yesh, heal and toe is very easy with this set up.

Start with a small drill say 1/16th of an inch and drill a pilot hole. If you cannot get that to work you will need to support the brake pedal from behind and use a center punch to make an indent in the metal and then drill. Eiother way start with a small dril.

How did it go. I have a set that I was going to install this weekend.
Did you replace the screws for the brake pedal. Any tips that you would recommend. Thanks.
