How was the drilling?

Piece of cake--although the plastic clutch pedal has a broad backing (pretty crappy set-up) that easily interferes with the screws and nuts, so you have to get as close to the edge of the pedal as possible. The brake pedal is metal with more latitude for mounting. The plastic cover of the accelerator is pretty thin, and the dead pedal plastic seems even thinner, so you have to be careful not to strip the self-tapping screws. Further, the dead pedal surface isn't flat but, if you screw through the outer corners of the pedal, the aluminum plate and plastic surface draw together nicely (again, be careful to not to strip the holes).

Turner only sent three screws for the clutch and brake pedals, each, which seems fine (tighter, more robust fastening method), but the four screws they sent for the accelerator and dead pedals, each, seem a tad inadequate to me, so I'm going to head to the hardware store to double-up.

Another thing to consider are the grooves running up and down on the accelerator and dead pedals. As best I could manage, I tried to avoid drilling in the valleys of those grooves to ensure both a solid backing behind the aluminum where fastened and that the short screws could easily reach through the plastic.

Finally, I did have a hard time keeping the upper holes in the accelerator and dead pedals perpendicular to the surface, because my full-size drill motor was in the way. A right angle drill would be ideal...

Did you install Z4 FCAB’s? The front wheels look like they’re not centered in the wheel well...

Yep!

I like those wheels

This is my 2nd time running them on a ZHP. This was my old car on them.

Removed my headlights, removed the LED headlight bulbs and drivers, and reinstalled my Xenon ignitors and hooked them back up to the ballast. Installed Osram Xenarc 66240 CBB bulbs to replace the LEDs.

Thought you got the black ones? Or was that someone else?
My issue with the clutch one is that it's loose. I tried tightening it but it's still loose, so I still hear that metal clink occasionally when I touched the clutch pedal the right way. It's been that way since 2011 or 2012. lol

Not me... I thought about black, but I know the finish would come off in no time and look like hell. Plus, the silver really pops.

I'd think you could tighten the nuts on the back of your clutch pedal, with or without the interference I described above, to eliminate that looseness (get a mirror back there to see what the issue is). Failing that, you might either drill new holes (probably tough with limited space) or try using an adhesive of some sort in conjunction with the screws.

Oh, man--I can't wait to take mine out of storage! I can't wait to try out my new LSD and Koni's. It sucked to get three more inches of snow yesterday!
