Thanks. This isn’t even on my to-do list, but it’s relatively cheap so why the hell not. Have more pressing things to do first though.
It makes a surprisingly big difference compared to those blah stock pedals. Well worth it. Sometimes it's the small things, like these pedals or the dead pedal/footrest I added that really complete the look.

And just to confirm, the sport pedal sits on top of the original rubber gas pedal and the sport brake pedal replaces the original rubber brake pedal?

I did this a long time ago so my memory may be fuzzy... :cool:

The stock accelerator pedal is plastic. You drill your holes into that and then rivet the sport accelerator pedal on top of it. With the brake pedal, you discard the original rubber pad and you'll see the holes are already drilled. Put the supplied new rubber pad on first and then rivet the sport brake pedal on top.

Awesome, thanks. On my to-do list!

Would be easier to replace the whole pedal assembly? I found the pair from a 2019 Sport Sedan:

Mine it's a 2016 EX Sedan. Are they compatible?

Ok, so let me understand your logic here. You'd consider purchasing completely new gas and brake pedal assemblies at a cost of $200 or so (new) and then install them? Because spending $75-ish for sport pedal covers and pop riveting them to your existing pedals is too difficult? :popcorn: :rolleyes:

Keep in mind if you don't own a pop rivet gun, you can get one for under $20 like this one.

Just wondering what is easier. I will get both pedal assemblies for $80.

This was not difficult at all. First, College Hills delivered very fast. Ordered Wednesday. Delivered Saturday. I had a rivet gun. Didn’t have a 3.5mm bit, but had 9/64” which is more than adequate for this. I wasn’t planning on doing this, but it looked really easy so it shot up on my to-do list.

Didn’t have to disassemble the gas pedal. There was enough room there (just moved the driver seat back). My only issue is one of the rivets on the brake pedal didn’t break cleanly so I had to basically gnaw at it and wiggled it until it broke. It annoys me, but it’s beneath the surface and can’t be felt. As someone else said, the black coating will probably be scratched/stripped. I might touch it up with paint or even a permanent marker lol.

Don’t mind the filth. Just came back from a geologic site.

Glad I found this post, bought a pedal set over the weekend and rivet gun for the install. Installed the brake pedal today. Pretty easy to use the rivet gun, with the exception of the flying piece after it snaps. Good thing I wear glasses. Hopefully will get the other installed this week.

I noticed the .pdf in my original post wasn't downloading anymore (at least for me). Here are the installation instructions in case other people are having issues with the .pdf file.

I know this is an old thread but..... what the heck is Rivet A and Rivet B? I've been googling but got nothing.... Worst case I'll just have to measure pedal thicknesses and eyeball it...

I think you're confused. ;)

When you order the pedal kit, the rivets are included (see instructions parts list). One rivet is smooth, one has a groove.
