If you are thinking of powder coating you could look at this too!
It's plastidiping the rim.
I've seen a lot of rims blacked out by using this method and it's extremely cheap (do all 4 wheels for $50.00) and very durable! It is a matte finish though.
I might do this to my winter rims to see how it looks!
All the best!

Installing a Pedal Kit is easy
edobernig,
Did you drill through pedals? Also how did you secure the foot rest? Is it just screwed into the carpet? They look great but I drive my car hard so dont want them coming off.
Thanks

To mount the Brake Pedal, you pry off the plastic OEM pedal cover. The center the Aluminum pedal on top of the Steel OEM Pedal. Use an automatic center push to mark the first hole. Drill the hole through the pedal and install Aluminum Brake Pedal on top with the bolt and nylock nut. Line up everything and mark each hole with the automatic center punch then drill each hole then install the nut and bolt individually.
Drilling and installing the pedals one hole at a time, instead of drilling all the holes then trying to get everything to line up, works best.
The Dead Pedal just lines up on top of the carpet. I took the supplied sheet metal screws and turned them through the carpet and into some backing material by hand. It is sufficiently secure. You could always apply double-backed carpet tape to the pedal for additional adhesion or slide a piece of sheet metal behind the carpet and drive the screws into it.
I have not had any problems and everything is extremely secure.
You may want to add a Growler to the top of your shifter.
I have Piano Black interior so that is how I had mine inlaid, however he can do just about anything for about $29.00.

lol It depends on the sound you want to go for. Magnaflow is a good choice. Made from stainless steel - will never rust. They aren't loud, but the car will sound more exotic with them.
The same goes for Borla.
Just stay away from Cherry Bomb and Flowmasters. Both are cheaply made products and you won't like the old pick up truck V8 rumble with those installed.
