What have you done to your P5 today?

hahahaha. I am totally in the same boat with the wife. She doesn't notice a damn thing on cars. Unless I changed the color of hers I don't think notice........s***, I had to point out to her when I put on 20" wheels on her Envoy one day.................lol

Sunday morning I opened the blinds and called her over (in my little boy on Christmas morning voice).....she said she couldn't see the difference. :( She is just not into cars at all....after I showed her before and after pics she simply said 'nice'. I also think she is afraid that any good comments she gives me on any of my mods will only encourage me more. But too late the bug bit me. haha
 
Thanks very much for the props guys. I was a little nervous about looking rice or at leat too many damn polkadots. Unfortunately I don't have much free time in the shop or outside of working hours to help anyone out. I have been wanting to do this for so long and just finally put everything to the side when my boss was out and did it. I made the dead pedal and heel pad out of 1/4" aluminum. I drilled and tapped from the backside on the heel pad and bolted to the mat. The dead pedal I used counter sink bolts thru the plastic riser that is bolted to the floor board and sandwiched the carpet between with a threaded plate under to hold it together.

The pedals I bought from ebay. They had sets with dead pedals but not in silver only blue and red anodized.

Only rice she's knows of is Uncle Bens. Actually, my CF is the real thing. I even covered our faux radio panel with it.

today, I further ignored all the stuff I have to install sitting in my garage....lazyness FTW!

I find it extremely hard to ignore my parts waiting to be installed. They like to whimper when I walk into the garage so I've relocated my turbo parts to the basement in a dark corner.
