Well, some folks have a hard time accepting other people's preference due to some sort of self conscious fixation.

Next thing you know, some folks will start saying homelink compass mirrors are for bling and base mirrors decorated with aluminum are for performance. Lol

Here's a very simple how to... you will need to provide one zip-tie.

Tools i used were:
10mm socket
Regular screw drivers (to remove bolt cover)
Wire cutter (to cut zip-tie)
Flash light

Remove cover... i used a real fine tip regular screwdriver and a 5mm+ driver
to pull this piece out. the clips are on the sides.

Removed the two 10mm fasteners...

Pull up the accelerator module. There is a hook on the back.
- Blue circles: where the accelerator is hooked on the backside to the floor.
- Green circle: harness you will unplug.
- Purple circle: zip tie you will cut.

(the accelerator module is flipped in this pict for explanation)

Then install the new pedal module in reverse order.

For the clutch and brake pedals... i found that you dont need to really heat this up.

Here is a pict of the backside of the pedals. When you mount onto the pedal
on the car, mount the top area (blue) first, then the green areas. Just pry
open the green areas with your fingers and wrap it over the pedal. some
white release oil dust comes off the rubber but dont worry. it will wipe off.

Afterwards I used my mirror tool to check that the backside was
properly wrapped around the pedal.

Before you start your engine, you need to calibrate the accelerator pedal.

Turn ignition ON (dont start the car) wait at least 2 seconds
Turn ignition OFF wait at least 10 seconds
Turn ignition ON (dont start the car) wait at least 2 seconds
Turn ignition OFF wait at least 10 seconds.

That's it. very easy and now looks nice.

took the car out for a
spin. the gas pedal feels the same, but the brake and clutch pedals
feel less bumpy vs the stock rubber covers so it is improved.

i like it. it's a tad pricy but i think it's well worth it to complete the look.
