For those of us with the standard and sport options, the pedals are nothing to write home about. A little dowdy and a little plain. To upgrade to the Touring aluminum "trimmed" pedals costs almost $300 (yikes!) A better way for real pedals was to have some custom designed for the Z. I worked with
SRP Racing - Custom Aluminum Racing Pedals To come up with something a bit more serious. Here's the final product in the "Grip" finish:
First, place the Gas pedal over the stock part and mark the attachment holes. Drill some pilots and attach with the supplied screws:
For the brake and clutch, remove the rubber pads, align the new pedals and again mark for drilling:
Drilling the top holes(s) is a little trickier due to clearances. I used a 90 degree drill adapter, but you could also have someone hold the pedals down with the edge of their foot to get a better angle:
Final drill 11/64th holes and attach with included hardware:
On the footrest, I don't have pictures, but you can do this several ways. There are 6 plastic pins that go through the carpet and are attached with metal push on clips. Using a trim tool you can pop this off from the outside, or remove the 2 Plastic nuts at the top edge of the carpet and pull the whole thing back and pop the clips off from the rear. Attaching the footrest required longer screws than supplied due to the carpet thickness and the Styrofoam base underneath. I used 3 1" stainless screws through the carpet and into the Styrofoam. Seems plenty sturdy:
Done! Serious grip and a serious look for about $69-$139 depending on Options and finish work...
