    I took mine in and requested that only the pedal be trimmed, and thats all they did. It hasn't effected the feel of my pedal at all. And I'm keeping my Tacoma all weather mats, cause they're bad ass.

    I was scheduled to have it done right now (using the dealer's wireless to type this), but I specifically asked to not trim the pedal and order a new one. They didn't, so I won't let them cut it. They are going to order the new pedal, and reschedule when it arrives.

    Taking mine in the morning. Just doing it to get the tranny reflash. My pedal doesn't come anywhere near my mats, so I could care less about that mod. Just want smoother shifting.

    Just returned from having it done and it did seem to fix the tranny issue. They took about 1/4" off the pedal. They had it done in 45 minutes.

    Did it drop to idle immediately upon putting the brakes on - or was there a lag time?

    I just had the work done yesterday. Although, my paperwork is kinda confusing. It says they performed the brake over-ride changes but underneath that sentence, it says "On Avalon & Camry Only"
    So I'm like...WTF???? Did they do it or not?
    I tried it out (so I thought) on an on-ramp this morning and I didn't notice anything happen. Or maybe I didn't have my foot on the brake hard enough and long enough to see the results. There was traffic up ahead, so I really couldn't go nuts trying it out. I guess I gotta call the dealership and find out if they flashed it or not. ??? I could care less about the damn pedal. I'd trust the computer to work before the damn shaved pedal.

    Appointment at 7:30 a.m. tomorrow. I have weathertechs and do a lot of highway driving, so I am going to ask them to just do the ECu reflash and leave the pedal alone. I'm short - 5'9" - and don't like to sit with the wheel in my face to reach the pedals......cutting the pedal is equivalent to putting your house on stilts due to a 10,000 year flood risk.....geeeesh. And...there are some people that wouldn't know a gas pedal from a monkeyboy.
