Lexus IS250 gas pedal + Lexus IS Sport Pedals/deadpedal

I wasn't really a fan of the OBX pedals offered and after talking with an MR2 owner about aftermarket pedals they told me that I look into going with the IS Sport pedals since it's a very common modification to do to other Toyotas and fairly simple.

After realizing that no one had in the Yaris community I figured why the heck not!





Simple for others doesn't translate to simple for us unfortunately. Because the USDM Yaris has a nasty plastic blocky shaft as a pedal with no pin holding the pedal in place as it's molded to the plastic, I had to find a replacement pedal. Which is where the IS250 pedal comes into play.

The sensor plug is identical and the pedal can just be plugged in without any modification. However the mounting holes on the pedal assembly are reversed on the IS pedal, which requires you to open the pedal assembly and transplant the inards to the Yaris pedal.

Unfortunately the angle of the pedal shaft is totally wrong and you wouldn't get more than 20% in to the pedal travel before it hits the carpet, so you have to do some bending to the shaft to make it work.

Definitely makes the cabin look sportier. I still need to make some minor adjustments to the pedal, since it's angled back more than I would like, but otherwise feels very nice.
