That's why Mikey444's premiums are so high, he has replacement cost. It's almost a completely different type of policy, way expensive.

I clipped them on, but in hindsight (being 20/20 and all) I probably should have drilled them. I took the "rubbers" off, (naughty) no way the clips would have worked with them on. Not having any problems as of yet, but if they start to get loose, I'll drill them.

Depending on the color of your car, I think it can look good. Prboy, I have a black mica hatch and I was thinking about it myself, but I'm afraid the silver won't match. We already have 3 different silver trims on the car anyway, (shiny chrome trim on head/taillights, dull silver trim on...

Ok, ok, ok, I will leave the cover on most of the time. However, when I show people the engine, I usually take it off, so I still want the missing emblem, even if it for my own personal satisfaction that I know is there: So the question STILL remains...where to get the emblem?

Thanks y'all, I'm quite pleased with them. BV, for the dead pedal, I just screwed it right into the carpet. Luckily, the screws that came with it were long enough to grip through the carpet, but short enough not to need to drill any holes in the floor.

I agree, it looks cleaner, but sometimes I leave it off on particularly hot days, or if I drive a long distance, and I don't like the obvious hole where the emblem should be. I want the best of both worlds! So...question remains...where to get the emblem? That was the only pic from that roll...

I'm not so sure I like the big plastic thing over the engine, I like to actually see the engine, belts, wires running everywhere, etc. However, if you take it off, it looks like there should be some sort of emblem there. Anyone know where I could find such an emblem? Sorry for the bad pic...

I'm diggin' it.. Maybe paint the emblem white like the body...from a distance it might seem as if it was floating in the middle of nowhere...neato (crazy)

Here's mine. I got them at Pep Boys. They were a little hard to get on, in hindsight, I would drill the pedals instead of using the metal clip thingies, but they look and feel great! Although, I did see some on eBay the other day that got me drooling...

I use the Turtle Wax 2001 protectant wipes (not the spray). They don't make anything to greasy (even the steering wheel) and, they are lint-free and THICK! You only need 2-3 for the entire interior; dash, console, doors, hatchlid, splashguards, EVERYTHING! (2thumbs)

Didn't bend the gas pedal, that was the only one where the clips actually worked well! If I had to do it all over again, I would probably drill, but it's good for now, so I'm not going to futz around with it! (drive)

I have the same pedals (they are pretty slick, aren't they?) and I took off the rubber and used the clips. It was a little trickier than I expected; the pedal under the rubber isn't flat, and the way the pedals are made, you can't bend the clips the way you want to. I used some fat...
