Issues: the cap head metric bolts need to be swapped out to button heads in order for them to set below the level of the pedal aluminum. There are counter bored holes in the pedals, but the cap heads are too tall. Don't get me wrong, they work, but button heads look a lot cleaner.
Also, the bolts are all the same length. This is an aestheic issue on the emergency brake pedal b/c there is a lot of thread showing when tightened. I ended up drimming the bolt and coloring with a black sharpie when installed to camoflauge them. I also had to cut a bit of a relief on the side of the emergency brake arm where it meats the pedal. The holes in the pedal are oriented so that the bolts are so close to the e brake arm assembly, there is no room to thread on the nut. Not a huge deal, but not plug/play either.
If you take your time and measure 2X and drill once, it will come out good. I like the pedals, just more work then anticipated to install (assuming that you're **** like me). I see some design improvements, but if you're handy, you can make them work and look good.

I installed a set a week or so ago.
