I've also been happy with the ultimate pedals (once I replaced the screws with black to match the rubber inserts).
Leading evidence: 'Replace screws' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check length of the screws, i had' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

For the other pedals, I use metric allen head machine screws that were greyish/black.

Also, make sure you check the length of the screws, I had to use longer ones for the gas pedal.

Suggestion
Replace the OEM dead pedal and then place the aluminum pedal over it and use two screws to attach it.

I did use contact cement to make sure the rubber inserts don't get pushed out.

They look great and make heal-and-toe shifting a lot easier (for typical street use where I don't usually brake hard enough to easily reach the OEM pedal).
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Just bought on ebay a set of
these aluminum pedals
for $78 plus $25 shipping based on other posts about these. I haven't gotten them yet so I don't know what they look like but if they suck, it's not like I spent a fortune. I'll post pics if they work out and i install them.
Congrats on your pcar!
pongobaz,
They look great. If they install without problems what else would you want?
How much do you drive your car? I have a truck also but don't know if miles should be counted as other vehicles.

I bought mine from Ebay...and they are very nice...original Porsche look (but they might be knock offs.....but who can tell??) anyway..paid 120 bucks and the only pain to install was the break pedal....the screws are very close to the edge of the pedal and when drilling..you got to be very careful not to "screw it up"
pongobaz - When you install your pedals, don't install the brake and clutch pedals like they are shown in the ebay pic. Rather, you need to swap them so the "tapered" part of the bottom of each pedal is on the "outside" of the pedal. The tapered part is there to keep your shoe from catching on the pedal when moving your foot from the gas to the brake pedal or from the dead pedal to the clutch.
The brake pedal is made of a steel alloy, and will be a little harder to drill through. Just use a good, sharp titanium tipped drill bet and you can drill the two holes in the brake pedal in about 1.5 minutes. Let me know if you have any other questions about the install process.

thanks Tim,
I had noticed that they had the clutch and brake pedals reversed. I'll go to home depot and get a good titanium bit. What size bit did you use? Also, it says to leave the original rubber covers on, is that correct?
I bought the same pedlas from ebay. They look good. Not as nice as Ultimate Pedals but for the price they are great.
I removed the rubber covers from the brake and clutch pedals because it seemed like they fit much better.
The provided screws were not long enough for the gas pedal so a trip to the hardware store is required.
I also glued the rubber inserts in with contact cement. They are justed pressed in and on the gas pedal particularly, there is nothing else behind them, so I thought a little glue was in order to keep my foot from pushing them out.
Pedals just arrived after UPS took it's sweet a$$ time but they look quite good; very pleasantly surprised. Next stop, Home Depot after work tomorrow for: longer screws, contact cement (for rubber backers), speed clamps and titanium bits. This site is great for all the info from others experiences. Anything else I need for my Sunday afternoon mod? I'll post pics when it's done.
Pongobaz - Yes, you want to remove the rubber OEM pedals from the brake and clutch. For the dead pedal and the gas pedal, you will screw the Aluminum pedals to the OEM dead pedal and gas pedals.
Dead Pedal - remove the dead pedal, (one screw) and align the aluminum pedal to make sure that the top screw hole on the aluminum pedal is NOT directly on top of the OEM screw hole. You might have to move the aluminum pedal up 1/4" to avoid the OEM dead pedal screw. Clamp the aluminum pedal to the OEM pedal and drill the two holes. Replace the OEM dead pedal and then place the aluminum pedal over it and use two screws to attach it.
Gas Pedal - Do not remove OEM gas pedal. Position the aluminum pedal on top of OEM pedal, clamp in place, drill two holes and insert screws.
Pongobaz, You might want to pick up a laser level. I found it helpful in getting the Porsche lettering (reasonably) square. For the dead pedal, I used a longer screw and went right into the existing dead pedal screw hole. For the other pedals, I use metric allen head machine screws that were greyish/black. I think they match up better with the black rubber dots than the silver screws did. Also, make sure you check the length of the screws, I had to use longer ones for the gas pedal.
I've been extremely happy with these pedals. They look great and make heal-and-toe shifting a lot easier (for typical street use where I don't usually brake hard enough to easily reach the OEM pedal). Still haven't tried them on the track, but I don't think they will make it more difficult than before.
Just did the install. Piece of cake! I took my time getting everything just right using a small laser level as suggested and it all lined up perfectly. I noticed that you have to **** the gas pedal a couple of degrees to the left to get the lettering straight which shows about an eighth of an inch of the original pedal on the right. You can't see it unless you get get underneath the steering column. Frist dirving impressions: toe/heel is easier and because the clutch and brake pedals are a fair bit larger, the pressure on your feet is more evenly spread when you wear thin soled shoes. Less foot fatigue for those of us who deal with urban stop and go rush hours! I did use contact cement to make sure the rubber inserts don't get pushed out. All in all, thes are a great deal. I'll take pics eventually, but right now I'm enjoying a nice cuban cigar a drink and looking at my shiny C4S. Thanks all for the great install tips!
