Well it would be just drilling and screws, but I guess I need to go and buy screws, since the packaging was all ripped and no screws.

yamazaho · 08-04-2011, 05:51 PM

^ I heard that it's not that easy to drill through the metal on the pedals, you need to out your back into it.

Hooy · 08-04-2011, 06:07 PM

Ah, didn't know it needed drilling. I'm guessing you'd need to put a brick or something under the pedals then low-torque high speed it. What size bit? And is it 2x screws per pedal?

From what I have read in the DIY so far is 5/32" and 4 screws per pedal.

Do they give you a template? Its hard to line up 4 in a perfect rectangle..

If not, you can just trace one onto paper using the pedals' holes

I don't know if it was supposed to come with templates or not, the packaging was ripped when it got here. I will see what I can do tomorrow. Thanks for all of your help.

stevenc · 08-04-2011, 08:57 PM

I did my pedals. There was a template with my kit and the drilling is easy with a sharp bit. Metal on pedals is not thick at all.

Midnightfang · 08-05-2011, 05:16 PM

any recommendation of shops on where to get brake calipers painted?
I called motorwerks and they wanted $1200.

Seriously, wtf!

thecossio · 08-06-2011, 07:52 PM

Selling my new hid kit (bought on 8/6/11).
10000k. Comes with warranty.
Original price 194.59

Selling it for 150. ( I will meet you up)
I am going stock again.
Reason why I am selling them already is because it is sliiiiiiiiiiiighly green on the outside AE and I will be selling my car at the end of the year.

Email me to lcossio@vacationstogo.com

Litos · 08-06-2011, 08:47 PM

it wont get greener.

The inside is really white bright, like the 2011 beamers, the outer ones is sliiightly green because the strenght of the color is not that much.

You can meet if you want to.
PM me.

Let me check if pre lci works.
