Default easy to install these parts?

I'm planning to buy all my parts on mcgeorge.com, This is what i'm looking to buy...

Floor Mats (4) = $78.95
Cargo mat = $32.00
Sports Pedal (Auto) = $34.40
Leather Shift **** = $34.75
Door Sills = $63.90

Total = $244 after shipping $267

Better than financing these parts at the dealer. But my question is can all these be install somewhat easily? I dont want to risk breaking anything or damaging the car.

I heard that the Scion floor mats are of poor quality and wear out very fast. Also, I heard similar quality issues about OBX parts (pedals and shift *****). All that stuff should be fairly easy to install.

I hate to be mean about this, but if you don't know if you can install floormatts or any of the other parts for that matter you don't need to be driving. IMO

I've heard that about the floormats... mine have been ok so far (10,000 miles)., and I know some say they are good... Not sure if they changed them at some point, or if I am lucky so far

I just passed 10K also and, after I vacuumed them the other day, my floormats looked like new.

If yours is Auto?! Dont get the leather shift ****, its for manual!

I looked it up on the internet, it has 1,2,3,4,5,R on it! So I guess it for manual, if you put it on your auto, that would be weird!

I'm sure some common sense would get all those parts installed fairly easily.

Pedals are easy to install, Stinky. They slip over the existing pedals.

1.Remove the stock rubber covers from the pedals.
2.Wet the insides of the new pedals.
3.Slip new pedals on.

I got the silver ones with my $50 gift card. Happy with them.

DO NOT BUY THOSE FLOORMATS. I'm not sure why but my foot has already rubbed a hole through the thin carpet piece to the rubber and it is the size of a quarter. This only took 4 months to do and i'm ____ed, they won't replace because of wear and tear on these peices of crap. Just a warning, not worth 78.50 at all, but I'm not sure of a good replacement. Peace!

Hunt around, the OBX stuff doesn't have the best quality. There have been many a post about the ***** threading being cheap (on extention piece) or constantly coming loose. I've heard a couple of complaints about the pedals not staying on. As to the mats, I can't personally say yay or nay, I don't have the mileage on the car yet for them to wear out but they've held up nicely over the first 500 miles.
