ok here's what you do drill a hole in the brake and gas pedal. get you some carrage bolts and a peice of 2x4 or 2x6 cut the wood to an good length of how far up you need it. drill a hole in the wood long ways all the way thru and bolt it to the pedals. but use separte wood for each pedal! or you wont get anywhere haha. not knowing how good you are with woodl if you can give me a length i will glady do this for you and ship it as long as you pay shipping. easy fix.

LOL Thanks guys! I had to wear platform shoes when I drove a 01 Maxima. Stupid standards. lol

Think I'm going to hack the pedals off and extend them. I don't need but about 1-1.5"

And I'll pass on the Prius, too girly lol

I'll see about getting a pic with me next to Rufus soon.

These kits are for the most part the safest way to overcome your problem. As a matter of fact in some states this is the only legal way as well.
