Default Backdraft Gas/Accelerator Pedal Modification

Jay mentioned quite a few people comment on the lack of an ornamental gas pedal on the BDRs. As minor as it seems, I didn't like it, so I changed it!

Original pedals:




After:



While not perfect because of the visible bolt heads, I like it better than before.

I bought these: http://www.finishlineaccessories.com...roducts_id=208, hacked off the lump on the back with an air cutoff wheel to make it flush and bolted with washers to the existing pedal. No modification was needed to the existing pedal nor did it need to be removed. Only bad part is these come as a set of 2....I only needed 1. It's also very light so I don't think a stiffer throttle return spring will be necessary.

What do you guys think? Obviously not noticable when you're in the car, but visible from outside the car...
