Default Took me more like 30, but it's not too bad.

For me the biggest thing was making sure the holes I drilled were tapped at the correct angle. A few were at an odd angle.

Prior to the install I had read complaints about some of the nubs falling out over time, so the night before I installed them I put super glue on the backside between the nub and the pedal. Then I made sure not to overtighten when I installed them, since I suspect the problem may have resulted from them being overtightened which then forces the nubs out the other side.

Default The rs4 pedals are nice

but if they didn't come with my car I'd prob still have stock pedals.

If it snows where you're from it's nice to have a good amount of rubber on the pedal. My feet still slip occasionally with the rs4 pedals.

Default How sharp is the edge on those?

Sometimes, I bump the pedals with my shoes (getting in and out, etc.). Are those sharp enough to scratch a nice pair of dress shoes?

Default Maybe he's just trying to save on tampons

Honestly, given the frenetic tone of his message, I don't mind the lack of punctuation. In general, I clearly agree that punctuation was a worthy innovation in written communication.

Default Yes.

My only beef with the pedals is just that. Pretty much all of my dress shoes on my right foot have nicks in the toe from the pedals. I keep meaning to just put a layer of duct tape on the edge but I'm too lazy and keep forgetting. It seems to be worse on my shoes with longer toe boxes. I have a pair of Prada calfskin shoes with very soft leather and those have been fine, but I have a pair of Eccos with stiffer leather and a longer toe and those are the worst for being nicked up.

Default RS pedals /speakers

Hi!

Ok so I am excited about putting these cool pedals on my new 2007 black sline A4 cab to match my sporty silver trim. But! Which ones the AWE or RS4 which are easiest for a girl to deal with...Do they both require drilling? Don't know that the dealership will install and where do i get these? I really appreciate your help ..new here..getting my car next week they are tweaking some things on it..also since it's aconvertible speakers are weak maybe abused in the past? any suggestions on upgrades?

My car being a 2007 cariolet they tell me my gas pedal is all one unit with gas control module so.. should I just go with the other 2 fot rest and brake on automatic to get a bit of bling?? any ideas on gas pedal.. retro fitting??? the pedals from rs4 are really nice!
