Got my Bespoke floor mats in to suit to rest of my color scheme. Took a while, but love how they turned out. Carbon fiber foot pad, Alcantara and leather with embroidery. They are for the summer

They are fine looking!
And yes, summer use only. No mud, snow or salt allowed on those mats!

Ha exactly. I know they are a bit ridiculous but I love car mats. I have years of experience cleaning and caring for Alcantara so I am up to the challenge
...Now I just need a car to put them in

I installed the Numeric aluminum pedals last weekend. I realize that I've already mentioned this, but the Numeric pedals are impressively designed and built - very high quality. They look great too. The pics of OEM next to Numeric are revealing.
For those going on track with manual transmissions, I have no doubt that you will experience greatly improved heel-and-toe performance. (More accurately, foot left ball to foot right ball. )

I was looking at those the other day. How are they in the rain? Not slippery?
They look VERY nice!

I don't know for sure (no wet experience yet) but I think they'll be fine when wet with any decent driving or tennis or similar shoe. Wet leather soled shoes should be 100% fine too. (Wet leather softens and gets a bit more grippy.)
Worn out, slick-soled shoes or slick-bottomed Crocs on the other hand ...
If you enlarge one of the pics you'll see the texture in the surfaces. It'll do the trick, more than likely with any shoe.

Simple to install although some contortionist abilities help when squirreling under the dash. It's a bit tight with the seat in the way but nothing difficult.
The dead pedal just pushes in - piece of cake. The accelerator is fairly easy too - much easier than I figured it would be.
The hardest is the brake pedal (and the clutch pedal if ya got one of those). It's easy to place the clutch and brake pedals. What's a bit challenging is getting to the torx screws that are behind the pedal. There are six on the PDK-only brake pedal and four each for the brake and clutch pedal setups. You have to feel for the torx heads and once they are on the last tightening phase they are somewhat inset. (The way they are designed and attach is very good and very secure.) I quickly realized that a small ratchet with a torx (T20 I think) made getting to the torx heads by feel and keeping the drive in place quite easy.
The YouTube video (that I initially overlooked) from Numeric's YouTube channel does a far better job explaining installation vs the older video on their website that I watched before attempting my installation.
So to summarize, installation is easy.
Here's the good video guide for 718, 991, 992 & 981 cars. (It's also easy to see how superior the pedals are over stock.)

...........great, now I have something else I must buy! Though, unlike Mr. Blueline Tim, I shall accomplish the installation task employing the Famous Father to Son Technique. This involves telling your son about your back being out and can he assume the contortionist position to install new pedals?
By the way, while he is at it I might as well have the front grill guards installed and maybe the tie down hooks, and...........
