The mugen pedals will fit, simply just slip off the rubber on the clutch and brake pedal, and put the mugen ones on, using the brackets to secure it behind. The gas pedal however will require drilling as the plastic is attached to the metal.

I'm no expert but how are you going to know that the ones you are buying are the real deal and seller isn't selling eBay replicas at an extremely high price just to make it seem convincing. The eBay Mugen pedals have everything to indicate that they are Mugen pedals people just know they are reps because they're like $30 but doesn't meant they don't do what they are supposed to...
I would rather pay $30 for reps know that they are reps rather than $300 for a set that might be reps sold at profit margin of x10

Ummm simple man buy it from authorised dealers like JDM concept. $250ish or so but you know their real.
But I can see your point with the reps although I would have to wonder what can go wrong with them or if the face would wear down quickly and lose the grip.

I think with reps it comes down to what part, I my self would never buy rep recaros, it's just wrong no matter how safe people say they are, but pedals are something you put your dirty shoes on to drive your car, they eBay Mugen pedals I've got look pretty much like any other set of Mugen pedal I've seen on other people cars weather the people claim its genuine or not, plus they still have the Mugen engraving on them and having used them for nearly 12 months I still would not dare run them against my face coz the grip surface is still course and grippy as the day I bought them. I personally think everyone should get a Mugen pedal kit weather real or fake because they grip far better than any rubber ever would and go one better when the soles of your shoes are wet!

This is exactly my train of thought with the grip level on your shoes esp when wet, something that doesnt have any mechanical or important part in the car is prob fine if replica. But thanks for the feed back I think I would rather spend $30 on pedals if they do the same job as $250 pedals.
If you have a link to the ebay ones you bought that would be cool!

Just type in Mugen pedals in eBay, you'll get hundreds of hits, sort by price lowest first, all replica Mugen pedals are they same and should have Mugen engraved on the top of brake and clutch pedal.
People might say don't buy fakes but I really don't see the advantage of buying genuine pedals for $250 when the rep ones do exactly the same thing which is grip onto your shoes while you step on them and they look 99% if not 100% identical. And for $30 the Mugen reps are the best pedals $30 can buy far better than the rubbish you see at super cheap auto!
Installation is a breeze as is very secure!

Just call up and ask? Just say it's for a DC5R if they ask for part # ect.
Bought a valve cover gasket few months ago. Think it was around the $20 - 30 mark? Can't quite remember though.....
