Pedal to the Metal: Retrofitting 3rd-Gen OEM Aluminum Pedals

The stock rubber pedal pads get the job done, but if you want to elevate your footwork and give the cabin a motorsport feel without going aftermarket, retrofitting 3rd-generation OEM Toyota aluminum pedals is the way to go. Here is how to get them installed perfectly.

Why OEM 3rd-Gen Pedals?

These aluminum covers offer excellent grip for heel-toe downshifting since they have built-in rubber nubs. Plus, because they are a genuine Toyota part, the fit and finish look entirely factory once installed—unlike bulky clamp-on generic pedal covers.

Parts Required

You’ll need to source the following OEM Toyota parts:

  • 78101-20150 - Accelerator pedal
  • 31321-53010 (x2) - Brake and Clutch pedals
  • 90254-04019 - Locking pin

Tools Required

  • Hammer
  • Pin punch (for the accelerator pedal locking pin)
  • Needle nose pliers (to remove the C-clip holding the accelerator pedal pivot point to the car)

Installation Steps

Before

Brake and Clutch Pedals

  • Start by peeling the old, worn rubber covers off your brake and clutch pedals.
  • Clean the bare metal plates thoroughly before attempting to wrestle the new covers on.

Accelerator Pedal

Accelerator and Tools

  • Use needle-nose pliers to remove the C-clip holding the accelerator pedal’s pivot point to the car.
  • Disconnect the throttle cable from the top of the pedal by feeding the cable out of its holder.
  • Use your hammer and pin punch to tap out the old locking pin on the accelerator pedal assembly.
  • Install the new aluminum accelerator pedal and secure it by knocking in your new locking pin.
  • Reassemble the pivot point with the C-clip and reattach the throttle cable.
