Why would you recommend that??? Makes no sense to me to place the switch out there....
I placed my switch near the top of the gas pedal swing arm. If you stick your head up under the dash with a light, you should see a few good places to mount a switch. Be creative...position the switch where it would make contact with the gas pedal down...then try find creative ways to hold it there in place.
Its very simple to do.

Most people actually put it near the throttle body... but what's this switch look like anyways? I'm just wondering?

If u mount it near the gas pedal u could definitly break the throttle switch...its so fragile...

I took piece of metal from lowes hardware used for door hinges, and some washers. I drilled the wot switch to the straight/flat piece of metal and i unscrewed one of the bolts on the throttle body and placed the washers on the bolt. I then placed the metal piece on the bolt and adjusted the angle so it would click when the gas was all the way down. If i had my car i would take pictures of it.. but the engine isn't even in it now anways :P

The switch came with the nx kit, it has a long metal piece that hangs off and the way i mounted it, the throttle pushes on it to click the switch down.

I cant imagine putting it on your gas pedal, I would think itd break off to easily as its very fragile piece. I had mine on the throttle body, just took off the cable mounting bolts and put it there, bent the little rod a little bit to make it work when the TB went WOT.
