Okay well i spent 2 hours trying to put on my Aluminum pedals on, and i got it all done except my brake pedal, there is just no way in hell i can get that damn cover on i followed all the instructions.

then i was going to change out my Foglights on my 06' untill i figured out how much of a b**** it was going to be just to put a damn light in...

They make these cars way too damn hard to do little things yourself.

i wonder how much the dealer will charge me.

 

i don't know maybe $100/hr with 1 hour minimum?
on the brake pedal,try to dip it in hot water first or use some of WD40 on it.

 

Try taking it to one of those little tuner shops or mechanics...they shouldn't charge you too much to help you out. Dealer's are always going to RAPE.

 

80-150/hr

 

Don't give up on the brake pedal. It may take 15-20 min. but you'll eventually get it on. Just a lot of elbow grease.

 

okay thanx guys,, how about that parking brake? do i just slip the cover over the orginal cover?

 

what ever you do dont take it to the dealer.............they charge sooooooooooo much

 

I understand how you feel. I just changed the fog lights on my '06 today and it took so long that I only got the driver's side done (I forgot to close the dust cap and had to go undo everything again, oh yeah). Well tomorrow when I do the passenger side light it should only take 20 min or so instead of 2 hours now that I know what I am doing, lol. I ended up taking off the wheel - it made it sooo much easier.

It actually isn't too bad doing the fog lights yourself IF you remove the wheel your first time through, it was a mistake for me to try it the "easy" way. Anyway, just remove the wheel, and then remove the wheel fender by taking out 8 push tabs (use a flathead screwdriver and pop em out), 1 screw, and a few bolts at the bottom. Then you have easy access to the rear of the headlight assembly - open up the foglight area by turning the bottom dust cover counter-clockwise. Inside the assembly, you need to undo a spring clamp, and then just pull the bulb out for a swift replacement.


As for the pedals, I plan on getting that kit myself, and the install doesn't sound like much fun. Hopefully the hot water thing will help with the brake pedal. As for the e-brake, I think you just apply adhesive (everythingG35 recommends 3M clear adhesive).

 

where can i just get the e-brake aluminum pedal? my car came with aluminum pedals but left the e-brake alone.

 

looooong ago,i have to buy that separate
