DIY: Big Foot Mod

Do you need to do this mod? Here is a test, does the HUGE dead pedal interfere with clutch travel because your foot gets caught on it? If so you too may have big foot syndrome (16's here 15s if leather and on sale ) Here is one method of solving the problem.

First remove the bottom door sill and the corner trim next to the dead pedal. Then peel the carpet back and remove the styrofoam block

Then mark the desired amount you wish to be removed with a pencil and cut the offending pieces away (I used a hack saw.) Be sure to leave the nub at the bottom so it sits back into the slot nicely.

That is it! Place the styrofoam back in and not only will you still have a decent sized dead pedal but you can drive with any pair of your shoes not just the super narrow ones or taking shoes off to drive (winter is coming taking boots off would have sucked!) It still looks stock since the left side holds the form and I can put my foot to the floor now if desired. I do imagine I'll wear the carpet above the area cut away though.
