Is there a reason why you don't wan't to install the felt first? ( I would)

You can see the ledge along the right side of the pedal and the distance to the kick panel.

theres a way to 'recalibrate' the gas pedal/throttle servo:
turn key on without starting
wait for lights to go out
depress gas pedal to floor and release
turn off key
One guy said he got better throttle response after doing this.

Maybe after a while it may fall out of calibration and this procedure may need to be done. Sounds easy though, I hope I don't forget about this.
Daryl- You may need to bookmark this one.

Going by your order, the window tint will make 1 pass down into the channel without the felt.
Just something to think about.

Weird. Looks like almost 3/16" gap you have from edge of dead pedal to the ledge

Rear Rotorpros cross-drilled/gas slotted rotors are in!
Install seemed easier than the fronts, maybe because I had a clue what was going on this time around.
The bolts (2 each, like the fronts) broke loose much easier than the front ones, which is a good thing because a 1/2 breaker will not fit due to tighter clearance to the parking brake mechanism and the brass fitting of the brake line. A 3/8 breaker worked like a charm.
Stock
Caliper removal bolts
Caliper removed
New rotors installed - lower caliper bolt not in yet, that's why it looks a bit crooked.
Wheel on shots on next post.

The hole counts look the same as well as it's relative position to each other. Could be some wierd camera angle or parallax error going on.
But, I will take some dimensions of my d-pedal, distance to the k-panel as well as to the ledge (hopefully this weekend).

Can't wait to get my new rotors installed! Uhhh... can't wait to get my new rotors!

But, for me, I'm shooting for the TR and Polished look.
If I had chose to go with a TR and Black combo, the SHR panel would be already on!
Looks perfect on your PW, Black Bullitts, and Black vert top and I think it'll look good on Daryl's VB as well.

I want to label all the dimensions on Powerpoint and I'll post it later tonight.
All I can say is I have a gap to the k-panel and is almost even with the carpet (foam) ledge. The lower half (left/outboard) edge is butted up against the carpet.
I even took a dimension between the outside edge edge of the clutch pedal (depressed) to the edge (right/inboard) of the d-pedal.
A picture will answer all your questions.
