Default Replacing Normal Pedals w/ Aluminum Pedals?

Along with the additional purchase on the facelifted gear shifter (Still trying to find a guide on that) I've also thought about getting the sport Aluminum pedals. I searched the forum didn't exactly find it but I did find a video, it's a VW but VW owns Audi. If anyone has done this conversion, in that video, is it similar on how you do it on the A7? Without changing the entire accelerator or having the additional conversion bolt which I didn't see on BKS.
Thanks

I've replaced pedal covers on other cars and these Ebay covers are the same style. You pry off the old covers and slip these on. Some soapy lube and a shorty flat head screwdriver are helpful.

Is there a spot to pry off or can I pry it off anyway around the pedal?

Start in the middle of the longer dimension and work toward one corner.

Some people report that the dead pedal or foot rest is harder to pry off the floor. Some of the tabs holding it down may break. Some say to remove the kick panel since a tab is under it.
