Installed my carbon pedals today, Thanks Jason!

Got around to installing my Burtman Industries carbon fiber pedals today. They look great! The install was pretty straight forward even though the instructions were in Japanese and I can only use one hand! My arm is still sore as hell being out of the cast after only 4 weeks and into this brace. Made it a bit more exciting anyways. Jason once again shined by sending me a link with a complete write up on how to install. Best thing is they are not permanent if you change your mind. Loosen a few screws pop em off, stick the rubbers back down and your good to go. Don't know why anyone in their right mind would want to do that though as they look real sharp. They compliment my carbon dash kit, shift knobs, and white face gauges nicely! Only thing I don't like is the screws are long in the back and I made a dent in my husky the first time I pushed in the clutch. I am going to have to dig out my sidecutters and whack them babies off, mabye grind em flush too. Jason you have any remedies for this? Anyways here are the pics!




I think my interior is looking pretty nice. Whats your guys thoughts????
For those who are new to the Forum and have been wanting to sharpen up your interior I highly recommend Jason Burtman and all his great products. His stuff is top of the line and he's great to work with. I have emailed him about 50 times asking menial questions and he always get's back to me quickly with a sensible answer. Thanks again Jason!

Wow, those do look nice:eek:

How are they when you get them wet. Are they slippery?

They do make your interior look great. Good job

Joey, I would suggest not cutting off the excess screw. The only reason I say this is because once you cut it, it may damage the remaining threads and you might not be able to get the screw out if the time comes. I would, however, recommend stopping in to your local hardware store and pick up some stainless steel screws. That way if the screws do get wet, which they will from your shoes, they won't rust and will look good for a very long time. Looking very nice though! :fireman:

Ryan I have to cut em off they are jamming a big hole in my husky liners and once they get through there they will be smashing against my truck. They are anodized bolts that have an allen screw head so I am sure I can get them out. I don't plan on ever taking them off anyways. Thanks for the suggestions though.

Got enough mats in there??

By the way, have you trimmed your husky mat under the area where the gas pedal is? It looks like you have.

Yes I did. Wasn't prepared to loose 1/8" of throttle movement... haha Actually I was worried about having a runaway like Corey did and it's easier to get it in and out that way.

how about the bils they going in soon
Mark I am still waiting for two of them to come in. The first two got here 3 weeks ago, the coils a week ago and still missing the other two shocks. They shipped out on the 16th of October and my patience is wearing a bit thin!

Thanks UK. I'm glad you like them. They really look SHARP with your interior and mats.

I would use the sidecutters to shorten the bolts on the back, if they are too long.

All the pedals run $39 a pair plus about $6 shipping in the USA.

So how long do you think you will have to wait till they send them out again or is it just a case of wait some more?
