I think it turned out well, as good as I hoped, while others may call it rice, but w/e
yes I know it needs to be dropped, it'll happen
I was thinking about getting the center console piece without the armrest(so I can see the entire shift boot and so it's not in the way when I'm shifting sometimes.)
I've seen it before, if anyone knows what it's called I'd appreciate it
Also I have to fit a plastic or rubber spacer so there's no gap with the release button and the hand brake tip

Nice man, can you give a legitimate review on them? as in quality? installation problems? or perfect fit?
I was just wondering because I'm really interested in them and the only ones i've ever liked are the CTR pedals, but a bit pricey. So what i'm trying to say is, I want very good quality, so are these pretty good?

well I had spent 10 minutes typing up what went wrong and everything just to have the internet go out, try restarting pc because modem/router showed normal status and realizing copy/paste gets erased after a restart. So I'll shorten it.
everything is straight forward. If you plan on doing custom pedals get yourself some wood blocks to go behind them so it's easier to drill holes. Get some needle nose pliers and a drill. Mark drill holes with a black tip marker.
the plastic cover on the gas pedal needed to be cut off, just used a box cutter and after I separated it I pulled it off with pliers. There's a hollow metal block behind the gas pedal. Not sure what it's for but it gets in the way of the bottom screw to mount the new pedal. What I did was drill a hole like normal, but put some jb weld on the screw and secure it as tight as it would go before it loosened up since there's no nut to secure it. I used those metal paper clips with those arms to keep bottom of new pedal secure to the actual gas pedal assembly. When it dried I took it off and it's as snug as ever and won't come lose.
so if you have those tools everything will be easy
quality-5/5, brushed aluminum with rubber pads(available without pads, but that provides no grip and will expose black pedal assemblies underneath)
fit-5/5, some pedals put the screws out so far that you have to use a plate to tighten it to the pedals since the holes are over open spaces. All the holes here were perfectly placed over pedals. The brake/clutch pedals are just a tad bigger overall than stock. The gas pedal is slightly longer and wider. Some of those aftermarket pedals are like plates, too big. Also for the footrest, you remove the old brick and this new footrest allows you to stretch your leg instead of keeping it bent which is a big +.
installation difficulty-2/5, if the gas pedal was as easy as the rest it would've been a 0/5 or 1/5
just time consuming to drill the holes if your drill dies like mine and you use another where the bit comes out after every hole. Not to mention you get tired and are easily irritated when it's 95+, you're sweating and since you don't have blocks to keep the pedals in place the drill is sliding around the pedals more than you'd like.

lol, haha, i appreciate that man, but i've around cars for a while, i know how to install them, but thanks for everything. The main thing i was concerned about was the fitment over the oem pedals as well as fitment of the screws. i just researched on the quality and they seem pretty legit, and even heard better quality than momo, so I might try them out.
p.s. you should copy and paste that to the product review section.

looks nice but whats up with the shifter boot? that looks like its for a EG or something... the opening looks smaller than the EK console.
and how much you want to pay for a center console section with the no arm rest
my silver civic came without the arm rest and i keep leaning over to brace myself and say O CRAP i dont have a arm rest.LOL i got one already i just need to get off my @ss and instal it!

The shifter boot was round along the base, stretchable. Well when I had mounted it to the metal frame underneath and installed it you could see some of the screws holding the boot in place. I tried to bend it, but the ones in each corner were still visible. So I just folded the bottom over to cover them up.
I looked at the hayne's manual to see how they did theirs and somehow their screws don't show even through they put them in the same places at me. I looked at the MOMO application guide for the correct size and that was it.
I like it like that, but I do agree they need to make it wider, other people will probably be like wtf is this.
