Also, how stable is it? Looks like its only bolted by 2 bolts on the top. It won't bend if someone pushed down hard on it?
I can tell you how tough this "little" piece of aluminum really is. I needed to do a *slight* modification, and bend one of the mounting points out a tiny bit. It took probably 400 pounds of pressure and a solid rubber mallet to bend the mount 1/16 of an inch. This footrest is incredibly tough. Also, my girlfriend said that the difference in passenger stability is amazing. I was doing some classicly hard street driving, and she didn't have to reach for the door grip (don't touch my door grip!!) a single time. She also used to grab the leg bolster of the seat bottom, but not anymore! Because of it's design, it is extremely stable, using the strength of the firewall for reinforcement. Not only is this piece not deforming inder any circumstances, it's not going to move and inch. Also, the floor mat is still easily removed, and there *should* be no modifications to the car required.
