Default TRD Sport Pedals

I finally got around to installing TRD aluminum sport pedals. Because I changed the emblems to the JDM winged lions, I wanted to use the TRD pedals vs the Lexus sport pedals. I was able to remove the pin from the accelerator pedal and mount the new pedal off the car. That pin is held in with a pressure washer which I moved using a jewlers standard head screw driver. I installed the foot rest as high as I thought reasonable but the carpet does cover a bit on the bottom. The hardest one for me was drilling the brake pedal holes.

Looks great!! I admire mine every time I get into the car. They compliment the interior very well. The hardest part of the install for me was the accelerator. I used an angle drill but probably should have removed it. Still happy with the outcome tho.

I just finished my install on these, also! Looks great, but what a Pain in the.... Took to me 3 days. Just some notes on my install. The parking brake took forever. My fingers couldn't even get back behind it due to the firewall being so close and the shape of the pedal arm; and I even have skinny fingers! Piano lessons for 6 years! With dumb, blind luck I was finally able to catch the nut. It was like that game at the fair with the ring and bottles. Point #2, get yourself some decent drill bits if you decide to do this project. Literally, broke like 5 of them. Black & Decker Black Oxide is not the way to go. I'd recommend some titanium bits for future installers. Also, the idea of marking the drill spots with white out, is def the thing to do. I didn't want to ruin the OEM rubber covers in case I ever sell the car and these are too racy for a new owner. 2nd photo is the pedals under the Ultra White Footwell LEDs. Looks awesome when the doors open! Feels like a showcase/gallery opening every time. .. Enjoy.

UPDATE: As I'm looked more thoroughly through this thread, I found that some pedals are different than others. Specifically on the logos, as well as the screw pilot holes (ie. on the Parking Brake). This might indicate why I had a hard time with it, but also why others had a harder time with the accelerator compared to my install. Just a note worth mentioning.
