Disclaimer: The instructions below are what I did to my car and can be used as a "guide" for working on yours. But, I take no responsibility for what you decide to do to your car. Be sure to read through all of the instructions first before doing anything to your vehicle.
Application: 1st Generation '95-'99 Dodge Neons and prolly 2nd Gen as well.
Time Required: ~2 hr
Scale of Difficulty: 2 (5 being the hardest)
Cost: ~$30
Tools Required:
1. First thing is to take off the rubber pedal covers on the clutch and brake pedals. The clutch and brake pedals are metal with rubber covers on them, but the gas pedal is made of plastic and has no cover on it.
2. To make it look better, I cut some metal plates and painted them black to put behind the new pedals so the stock ones wouldn't show through.
3. Paint the stock clutch and brake pedals black, then put the new pedals on and tighten down the clamps when you got them how you want them. Stand back and make sure they're straight and aren't too close together.
4. Drill the holes for the (2) screws in the middle, then install the screws. That takes care of the clutch and brake, now for the gas pedal.
5. Place the new gas pedal over the stock one and clamp it in place the way you want it. Now trace out the the edges of the stock pedal that stick out. Use your dremel to cut off the parts that stick out.
6. Paint the stock pedal black and install the gas pedal the same way we did the clutch and brake. Note -- I wasn't able to use the clamp on the lower right corner of the gas pedal, so I just put the screw in the hole and put the nut on the other side to hold it.
7. Now for the dead pedal if you have one. Make sure your floor mat is where it should be and place your dead pedal where you want it. Drill the holes and install the screws. The screws will most likely go through the wheel well, but should be short enough not to hit the tire.
1. Attach your shift boot to the console by either using the frame from the stock boot, or using Acco clips from the underside like I did.
2. Reinstall the console, slipping the shift boot over the shifter and attaching your shift knob. If the top of the shift boot won't stay up, take some electrical tape and wrap it a few times around the shifter stick. Then, place the top of the boot inside out over the shifter and secure it with a zip tie as shown in the pic above. Now when you fold the boot back down, the top won't fall down.
1. Remove the console. I used an automatic shift knob as my e-brake handle for a few reasons. 1) More choices to choose from 2) Less expensive (usually) 3) Most aftermarket e-brake handles don't come with new buttons and the auto knobs do. It looks kinda cheap if you use a nice chrome and leather handle, but still have the plastic button sticking out of it IMO.
2. Depending on the new handle you're using you may have to take a Dremel and cut off the molded plastic handle and notch the the metal frame to make it fit, like I did. Enlarging the hole in your new handle helps too.
3. If you're using an e-brake boot, attach it to the console. I used the Acco clips just like the shift boot. Put the console back in and slip the boot over the e-brake handle. Then put the new e-brake handle on and use the set screws to attach it.
