Still kicking myself for not getting the whole set, but heres my dead pedal installed. The person that installed it for me insisted on using the inside holes as opposed to the 4 corners. He said there was more to grip to there.

Got mine yesterday and can't wait to install (shortly)....They look great. Very light and well built and I love the engraving. Best group buy I have seen so far. A woody for woody (ha)...

I got my pedals yesterday, and all I can say is WOW 
!!!. These things are amazing. This is my first mod for a car that is 6 months away, but it is, so far, my favorite. Rob at Ultimatepedals.com sells a FANTASTIC product. I went out on the lot at the dealership, and put the deadpedal on the carpet, and taped the gas pedal on, and it looks great. Woody, again, cheers to you for getting this group buy together. It wouldn't have happened without you. I am so glad I saw their ad in Mustang Enthusiast Magazine, and posted the topic. Now all I have to do is wait, and wait and wait for my car.

Thanks Donna,
Now I know I want the GT engraving instead of the pony.
Looks really good.
Anyone interested in another group buy??

Well I just installed the break and Clutch pedal and other than the brake holes (just the top one), everything went very smoothly. It was
a little tough to get the drill on the top of the break pedal. The clutch moves down so it was a better angle. The pedals are just slightly bigger than the stock ones so size is not a factor in these pedals for those who were wondering how they fit. Gas pedal just goes over the old one. That was the easiest one. Get good metal drill bits as the metal on the pedals is tough. I used a little liquid soap to put my rubber tabs in and that worked fine, plus you can clean before install. Also, for those of you that wonder if you shold get the side flange for the dead pedal. I would have to say "YES". It has the drop off as you can see in the pictures and it looks much better if it covers that drop off. Oh, and the form underneath the dead pedal zone appears to be made out of styrofoam and does not give you a real good solid place to attach the screws, especially going throgh the carpet. I am going to make up a small piece of 1/4" plywood the side of the dead pedal and pull the form up and put it below the styrafoam so that it has a good surface to hold the screws. Donna, keep the screws where they are or if somebody comes up with a better idea, post it.
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Pull the rubber off (very easy by hand) of the old pedals.
Step 2: Clean the old pedals and put some tape over the pedal so
that you can use a pencil/pen to mark the position to drill.
Step 3: Put all the little rubber pieces in the pedals BEFORE you
mount them.
Step 4: Put the new pedals on the taped area and when you feel
good about where it is, use the pen and mark through the
holes you intend to drill in. I advise to use the drill punch &
then the small drill bit to get it started. You want the holes
to be very precise so that you have a little room to play with
as you adjust and tighten the screws. I put one at the top
and one at the bottom accross from each other. You really
don't need more than 2 bolts.
Step 5: Put the pedals on, put the bolt through and add the washer
& nut to the back and tighten. That's it for the brake/clutch.
Step 6: The gas pedal appears to be plastic so you need to use the
1/8 inch drill bit and as before, use tape over the old pedal
(no rubber to remove) and once you find the position you
want, put the pen in the hole(s) and mark your drill points.
The gas pedal is very easy to install and you use the self
tapping screws on this one and not the nut/bolts. Again,
put your rubber grommets in before you mount the thing.
Step 7: If your putting on the dead pedal, you need to determine
the angle you want to put it at. The slope is not in a
straight line so you have some room at the top to play with.
I think this is why Donna's guy put the screws in the middle
and not the ends as he looks to have kept it straight and
therefore the top right corner(nearest clutch) may not have
any flooring beneath it. Below are some picts of the
brake/clutch finished product and a pic of the "gap angle"
for the dead pedal. Also, the "base" that you attach to
looks like it's made out of styrofoam and it doesn't give
a good base to screw into.

Cool pics. I'm droolin'; can't wait to get mine. Got the same set up for an auto; engraving on all. 
Like the look of the rubber dit-dots. I'm thinkin about a touch of flat black for the screw heads. 
Nice write up. I'm sure it'll help others as theirs arrive and they start their install.

Donna. Thanks. Glad you like them. I know you wish you got the whole set. Maybe Rob will still give you the Group Buy discount on the pedals. Have you asked?

That's cool, I noticed they were made by ACC. That's who I'm going with, but I'm getting blue, and nobody has as may choices as ACC. And I'm getting the pony as well

I painted the dome inserts red to match the Red interior.You need to paint the tops only so they can still be inserted properly in the pedals. I used a hole punch and a file folder to make a holder for the inserts. I have diamond plate floormats that I use at shows. They should look great with them. I will install them tomorrow and post more pics.
I primed them first. Sprayed Duplicolor auto paint and then finished them with clear coat. I think they will wear very well. I asked Rob if anyone had painted them before and he said they had.

It looks just fine to me like that. But of course, you should be picky, as it is your baby.

Heres what I ended up with. Theres not much to attach too, but its good and tight now. I can tell already I need to clean it. The camera shows every little spot. Why do some of them I see in pics have a lip on them and mine is all flat?
