edit: looking at them more, i'm starting to get ultrapissedoff with myself now >=( Once i started drilling the hole, you can't exactly move the drill again, cos you'll slip back in. My only option is to file it such that the hole gets a bit bigger...

have you thought about drilling the hole abit bigger.. then putting rings to straighten it up?.. =S

Rings? lolwut rings?

I just drilled the holes a big bigger - still not straight enough. On the brake pedal i've got very badly... the bottom hole isn't even in the middle of the pedal T.T

Tried redrilling near it but then it kept slipping into the hole... I'll persist later though, it'll get there eventually.

moral of the story: don't rush the job! - mark the spot, punch it/drill a pilot hole, and then drill the big hole...

not try to 'guess' like i did...

u should buy the one WITHOUT drilling the holes. much more easier and same strength.

What do you mean dont get into gear?
Can you drive the car? Or is it just crunching into gear?
Have you tried double clutching to get it in?

correct me if im wrong but i think its different from the vti/vtil seats, aside from the color and headrest(with hole just like sports),

i think the shoulder and side area of the hybrid is more bulky than the vti/vtil
