These are the Gear Concept pedals I picked up from myfordperformance.com a while back, they are also available from www.steeda.ca. The same install process can be applied to most other brands of bolted on aftermarket pedal covers.
Tools needed:
Drill / 1/4" bit
Philips head screwdriver/socket set
Process:
1. Remove rubber pedal covers from clutch and brake. (Peel them off from top to bottom)
2. Place pedal bottom edge flush with bottom edge of pedal base and mark hole locations
3. Drill clutch and brake pedals with 1/4" hole (starting with a smaller pilot hole makes things easier)
4. Measure, mark, and drill holes in plastic gas pedal in the same way
5. Place pedals on, insert bolts, tighten with screwdriver/socket combination

Note:
The gutless cordless drill we were using would have taken days to get through the metal pedals. We stepped up to a corded drill and made the job way easier. It's a simple process, but it's an awkward job due to cramped space and angle you're drilling. Make sure you keep the drill going in straight, my brake pedal is a little higher than the clutch.. I think I redrill it to be straight though.
