Stealth Auto 300C Pedals & Stuff Installed

[GoofyTimL]

I ordered a set of rear turn bulbs, full pedal set and tire air stem caps from Stealth Auto. Got them all installed today on my Heritage Edition. Only trouble was a little confusion on the pedals, but after checking here and LXforums, I found my way just fine after all.

Here are some pictures of the pedals, and a stem cap for your enjoyment.





Stem Cap... Hmmm... look like I've got some micro-scratches on that chrome cladding! Grrr.


For those who may not know, Aaron has an "installation pictorial" posted over at LXforums which explains all you need to know for the installation of these beautiful pedal covers.

The only thing I would add is this. The underlying brake pedal structure has a depression on the front side, and something MUST be placed in this to fill the depression or the rubber backing will flex into the depression and the "nubs" of the new pedal covering are going to "flop" down flush (or worse) to the metal face of the pedal cover.

I used four thicknesses of the packaging foam envelope in which one of the pedal pieces was enclosed. It's easy to cut to the shape and provides both filler and flexibility behind the rubber backing. Only time will tell whether it deteriorates over time and repetitive braking.

I didn't take any pictures of the rear turn installation as that has been covered by others and, really, there's not much at which to look.

Edit to add: I really like the metal air stem caps. I had not even realized that the original caps that came with the TPM stems were plastic. It wasn't until I took them off and rolled them in my fingers and felt the "squishiness" of them that I realized they were plastic... and not that substantial. These new ones are the real deal!

Looks good.

Nice job GTL... looks great. I too ordered the 300C valve stem caps, they sent the SRT ones but I have the right ones inbound as we speak.

Don't you love the stealth bulbs? I have the front and rears and they really clean up the look of the lights.

GTL,
It all looks great! I also like the 300c valve stem covers. One questions....won't the floor mat cover up your new foot rest pedal?

You did a great job GT! Nice clean install. Those pedals look great as well as the valve stems. Thanks for sharing that Stealth install information.

bruno... No, the floor mat does not go up and over the "dead" foot rest pedal. In fact the floor mat covers no angled surfaces. If the pedals weren't so "bright" in the camera flash, you could see the floor mat was in place during the shots.

Personally, I told Aron that I would prefer an oval covering alathe original oval incorporated in the carpet. This rectangle initially strikes me as way too big, but I'd rather have it, than not with the rest of the things... but if an oval was available I would have ordered it vs. the large rectangle.


BTW... added a note to Post #1 regarding the OEM air stem caps for the TPM-type stems. Check it out.

Thanks for clearing up my confusion, GTL! Like you, I would also prefer an oval foot rest pedal rather than the larger one available. I'm the crazy one who covers up my floor mats with Tommy Hilfiger towels anyway!

Good job on your install. I'm still thinking about this mod...

I thought my wife was going to choke when the package came and I told her the cost... two sets of rear turns (for both Cs), a set of four stems and then the pedals. But when she saw them come out of the box, and then the first one installed today... she said ,"WOW! Those are beautiful!" Which is exactly what I was thinking... so don't hestitate... do it now. Just realize the drilling of the brake pedal is the toughest thing to get right... and clamps are strongly recommended as shown in Aaron's guide thread.
