Pedals were really quite easy. If you have a sharp set of drill bits it's real easy. Also, a flexible drill extension shaft is almost a necessity as the upper screws on the footrest are impossible to reach w/ a standard bit in the drill. Luckily I had one. But they sell them at Home depot for about $12 if you dont have one, and they come in handy alot anyway.
Old Brake & Clutch pedal are rubber, and simply pull / pop off. Here's the DIY thread w/ full instructions:

Installed it myself,..original one needs to be removed first,..but thats pretty easy. Once again,..there are a couple DIY's in that thread. One uses double sided tape, the other uses the included Betalink adhesive kit.
Watch this for how to remove the old spoiler:

I spoke w/ JOHNL_135 and he said the double sided tape he used worked ok,..but still left some "flex" in the spoiler.

Read this thread once the spoiler is off, and you are installing the new one with the betalink adhesive:

Both DIY's are excellent, and Kudos go out to the guys who put them together!!!

The only prob w/ the betalink, is the stuff is a goopy mess! USE LATEX GLOVES!!! Also,..try not to use too much adhesive where it oozes out after you place the spoiler. But you still have to make sure you use enough as well. Even w/ the cleaner thats included, it's a pain in the ass to get off of everything. Also,..mask off everything in the surrounding areas w/ blue painters tape. Just remove the masking immediately after the spoiler is in place, as you dont want the adhesive to dry onto the tape. This makes it very hard to cleanly remove the tape. Hope this helps.
