Just checked the ones with ST are sold out.

I'm sure they will get more.

Gezzz are you a saint haha. Those charity computers and mentor young adults. Awesome man.
Thank you for your kind words. I am no saint, far from it. Just did what had to be done and wanted to settle the score with the universe. To be brutally honest any human being would have stepped in to help this girl. She was a client of mine and arrived for service on her laptop. She was 88 lb and shooting up four times a day. I won't reveal her stage name but she was the #4 pornstar on Porn Hub. She was getting 85 million hits a month.
She literally begged me to help her and contact her mom so she can go back home and try to get her life together. It took three months to get her family to even consider taking her back but they decided she wasn't worth it and left her to die. She lived with me for 3 months before I got her in the best rehab in Vero Beach Florida. She had excellent insurance and it was about $10,000 per month. She fought me every step of the way in the beginning. I told her this was her last chance and I was throwing her a lifeline to please trust me. I drove 200 miles, three times a week to take her the breakfast, while she was in rehab, to try to put some weight on her.
Mission accomplished, we got to the root of the problem and she no longer needed rehab or methadone. She was released after 3 months. I took her in, mentored and sponsored her. It took nearly two years for Lex to trust me and know that I wanted nothing from her. I just wanted her to succeed, get clean and be healthy. Our success story is literally one in a billion. We are inseparable today. We are business partners in several businesses. She is a real estate agent, my partner in several rental properties as well as a Cannabis facility in California. She put on 50 lbs. Lex is 5'6" 135 lbs. She's more beautiful now than she was when she was in pornography. People would look at the age difference and think our bond is creepy. That is the furthest from the truth. It is a bond based on trust, respect and honesty. Most people would be so lucky to have that type of bond with another human being. I'm 51 she's 25. I am the only man on the planet that Lexie trusts. I am the lucky one and blessed to have her in my life. I dream of the day I could walk her down the aisle and baptize her first baby. All Lexi wants to do is be a mom and get married and be happy. That is all I want for her. Then the universe and I are square. I apologize for being long-winded but this is very important to me. I've been very successful with business, successful in life but always had a void that I couldn't seem to fill. I've had beautiful women, cars and traveled the world first class for the government. Helping Lexie was the the greatest experience of my life. How many people can say they actually saved a life?
Sorry for going on and on. Thank you all for listening. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming..lol

Holy crap , y'all didn't tell me what a PIA the brake pedal install was.

Gas pedal 10 seconds, remove old brake pedal 10 seconds , putting on new brake pedal 30 minutes.

Old geezer here.
On one knee, 2 cracked ribs, stiff rubber ,. 50 degrees.
Soap , heat gun.
Finally got it.

Yeah it is a pain in the butt for the brake pedal...

The trick is to get the top part in first and the top two corners, then do the bottom left corner, then the bottom right corner.

I think that's finally how I got.
I figured out that the top had to be first.

Somehow I finally got it on.[drinking]

They look great.. Took everybody's experience on the install. As stated the gas pedal just slid on in seconds and the brake rubber removed easily. As for the break install I utilized everybody's info. So first I stretched the sides and the bottom flaps. I started with the top first and kinda slid the pedal into the top portion, then you have to work your way down the sides and make sure the rubber flaps over the pedal until the bottom part which has play and let's the cover basically conforms to the pedal after a final yank and tug. It'll wrap perfect just make sure the cover edges are completely around the pedal.

I had no such issues I used a little soap and water a heat gun and it slid right on...

So glad I read this post before starting the install. Gas pedal, no issues. Heat gun to brake pedal, very minor issues. Thanks!

Just got mine! Awesome interior upgrade. These really should have been standard equipment!! Like others said, brake pedal was a little bit of a pain…but not too bad. Took about 5 min. 181A2638-72B0-4A57-88E5-E213E1AECC47.jpeg
