If you get 20+ count me as 3

quik questions are: Who is subject to tax? How much is shipping and last question is what is Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Gas Pedal Heel Toe Extension Left Side

MLV
08-18-05, 10:21 PM
I'm in for a group buy.

The heel/toe pedal is wider due to an extended left side. The CTS-V forum had pictures of it quite a while ago when the first group buy was done. The quality of these pedals is very good.

So in other words its a wider gas pedal? which one with you go with the regular gas pedal or the heel toe?

MLV makes it # 4

since you don't have a manual car, heel toe pedal won't be needed. Instead get the regular pedal to have some distance between the brake pedal and gas pedal

they sold one of the v guys a kit and it looked so much better than the ultimate pedal. Also the autovation said they will try to allow group buy as soon as they get everything straight with sal.

check out op's pics. He paid 99 for 5piece kit.

Hello guys,

We will run a Group Buy shortly! I need to work out the details with the cadillacforums.com administration. Thanks for the interest.

SBONES,
A dealer can install the pedals. If you are a bit mechanically inclined and have the necessary tools, you can install yourself. It is not difficult. Here are the instructions for installation:

I recommend that you also consider getting the footrest. It looks good and creates a better place for the left foot. :)

They sell the whole set including the big plate for $150 without a group buy. To get that at ultimatepedals it cost $315 before the discount.

I'm in for gas, brake, emergency brake and dead foot pedal rest for a 2004 Cadillac SRX.....do they have it for that application?

If so that is 4 pieces.

I'm also in for a CTS-V clutch, brake and driver and passenger footwell large heel rest pads. So that is 4 pieces.

4 pieces for sure and 4 pieces for an SRX if they make it so that would total 8 pieces.

Who ever is running the GB; let me know about the SRX pedals please so I can be counted for either 4 or 8 pieces.

Hi Robert CTS,

Thank you for starting this post.

Hi SdMarineGuy,

Tax is only applicable if we ship to a Florida address.

Shipping within the continental US is ~$11 by UPS Ground.

Hi Devil Concourse,

I'm not sure how you arrived at over $300, unless you add engraving to all the pedals, and get our flanged driver footrest.

The other manufacturer does not include engraving, does not offer a flanged footrest, does not offer a parking brake pedal, and uses a different type of anti-slip than our pedals, raised edges around the countersunk holes only, versus our box pattern which covers the entire pedal (very similar to a very coarse bastard file).

Closeup of our anti-slip pattern (click on link to see photo):


http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12696&stc=1

Installed photo(click on link to see photo):

http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12695&stc=1


If you ordered four pedals (gas, brake/clutch, parking brake, and driver footrest) in our most expensive finish, frosted anti-slip, the price would be $231 before the discount and $150.15 after the discount(assuming 35% for 20+ orders).

Our shiny anti-slip finish would be $211 before the discount and $137.15 after the discount(assuming 35% for 20+ orders).


You can also just get the anti-slip finish on the brake/clutch and smooth on all the other pedals, which would further reduce the price.

Our anti-slip finish is machined into the entire pedal surface and provides grip second to none, wet or dry guaranteed.

If you don't agree simply send the pedals back and we will gladly refund the cost of the pedals.

Finally, our pedals are an exact match for the original pedals. We add 1/8" all around to ensure the pedals completely cover the stock pedals (the other manufacturer does not appear to be an exact match).

Our goal is to produce a product that looks like it came from the original manufacturer or better.

We pride ourselves in total customer satisfaction knowing that the most discriminating of automobile owners select our products for its superior quality.

On closer examiniation of the two products I think you will realize that we are not compairing apples to apples.

As the saying goes, you get what you pay for.

By the way, since we're a supporting vendor, part of your sale helps support this website.

Hi pietroraimondi,

No problem to make a set for your SRX.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

We have 5. Enough for 25% which isn't bad. Rob at Ultimate Pedals asked Sal to make the post a "Stickey" so it stays at the top of the Forum list. I'm assuming when a member says count me in they mean it. So lets not do a poll yet.

08-20-05, 08:06 AM
I sent an e-mail to Rob at U.P. and asked for clearer pricing. Like the manual take an extra pedal over the auto. Is there a cost difference in flanged and unflaged pedals.

What do you think of my idea? I plan to paint my pedals gloss black. Then I will take a fine file and remove the paint on the high spots to reveal the shiney metal. As you know I try to keep the bling down on my ride. Can you picture it?:hmm: Hey if it looks like crap, out comes the paint remover. Of course I will only paint one pedal to see how it looks. You guys might think about the technique to match your interior.

Dome and Flat top rubber inserts are now available.

You are correct, currently black is the only color available for the grip inserts.

Depending on demand we may offer other colors as well.

The grip inserts can be retrofitted into our existing customers pedals.

We will be releasing pricing information tomorrow (one final meeting about this subject tomorrow morning).

You have to drill holes through the current pedals and screw them on. If you have a sharp drill bit it's not too bad a job. I only broke one drill bit in the process. The instructions are pretty self-explanatory. Of course I also installed 3M clear bra :eek: :banghead: and hard wired the Valentine 1 on 3 cars. :alchi: The work space is a little cramped, but you can do it!

I just visited the website. Each pedal shows a cost for the pads but no mention as to how many pads are provided. One pad for each hole?? $69-$79 per pedal.

I don't have a photo, but just imagine the regular gas pedal with holes then add about an inch to the left side without holes and you have the heel/toe extension. It looks good but as someone else mentioned, you don't need it unless you have a manual transmission.

When we're ready to order, here's how to process your order per Rob Baylor:

Normally, everyone places their order through our website.


Specify your vehicle, the group buy name, as well as any engraving options during the checkout process when you are asked to indicate year, make, and model.



If you don't mention the group buy name you'll get your pedals quickly, but not discounted.



Also, with the website you won’t see the discount automatically, and you will get a confirmation email pretty quickly. That email will not have the discount applied to it, DONT WORRY....You are not charged until the items are shipped, and the set up of our software cannot compute a discount, it has to be manually accounted for.

RobertCTS
08-24-05, 03:14 PM
I think it's time to close this up. We got no action from the V guys. I think they have already done this before.

As of Monday morning lets start placing our orders 8/29/05. If anyone backs out we get handicapped on the percentage. Pete hasn't conformed his intentions yet. Any questions?

The group buy provides reduced pricing for the members of the group. It does not require a consolidated order from the group. I'm sure Ultimate Pedals would be happy to allow others to join in the group buy as long as a deadline for ordering is set. Then you may get a few more orders. Order today, tomorrow, Monday; what's the difference? The tone of your replys begs a question. What is your problem? :confused:

I'm sure we will get 25% and 30% looks good but if a few bag on us, we might not get 30%.

Since the order web site doesn't know how many people are in the group buy, how do we get the correct % of a discount? Don't you have to have a certain number of people agree to do the buy, let the store know, then everyone buys during a set time frame? Or does the store hold the orders until they get all of them, figure out how many in the group and then apply the discount to fill the orders? Just wondering how this is done.

You hit it on the nose. That's why it takes longer to receive your order. They have to make sure how many orders they actually receive to apply the proper discount. You can actually order now but I wanted to set a date to close the buy. That's this coming Monday. I went ahead and ordered mine today. If you order it would be nice if you post in this thread so we know how many placed orders. Rob said to be sure to identify it as "The Cadillac Forum Group Buy". There is no appropriate place to do that. But you do get a box that's large enough to enter that information. If you miss it you can't back up.:o

Rob,
You should already see some orders coming in. I placed one as did MLV. I posted yesterday that we want to close things up and to get our orders in by this coming Monday.

You know there really isn't a place in ordering process to mention the Group Buy. I found a box for something else and added it there. Once you go on to the next page you can't go back. So if anyone screws up can they contact you to correct it?

Bob

ultimatepedals
08-25-05, 04:59 PM
You are correct, we wait until all the orders are in and then base the discount on the total number received.

During the checkout process you will first see a screen where you fill in your personal information.

The next screen is where you select the shipping method, the default is UPS ground.

Right below the shipping part of the screen is a text box where you are asked to enter year, make and model.

It is this text box where you would type in the group buy and any engraving options.

By the way at the bottom of the screen there is a horizontal line where you can step backwards.

Please let us know if this is unclear.

I've asked Rob to give us another week, hoping the 5 who failed to get their orders in on time can now do it. Come on guys, the rest of now have to wait another week before we can get our pedals processed.:(

The new and final date is September 6th. The day after Labor day.

MAybe some of the other members could at least buy the E-brake petal. It's the cheapest item. Then we could all get the full 35% discount!!! Think about the health of your poor CTS. The stock petals really wear down fast. The new petals will keep the car in great shape!!! So buy them. Take one for the team...:golden:

There is a metal platform behind the e-brake pedal. I think if you drill the center out with a large bit the pedal will come off.
