GS Pedal Covers
Has anyone purchased the GM pedal covers for their GS? Are they hard to install? I did not order that option, but can get them for about $200. Just wondering if I should?

I did not order mine. My Vette came with them. One of only three options that were on the car. I could look at them to see how they were installed and let you know.

I bought the same type of setup for my CTS. The accelerator is a complete assembly. It is actually the easiest part of the changeout - pretty much plug and play. The brake and clutch are new covers and it took me quite a while wrestling with the brake cover to finally get it on. Once on, I definitely think it was worth it though. I'm definitely considering it for my GS.

Mines not a GS but I'm sure the install is the same...

I have an MN6. Bought mine from GS creations.

A C-clamp and a 7/16 socket made easy work of the accelerator pedal.
The key is to first use a mirror to look behind the pedal to understand how everything is arranged. Then unhook the spring from its lever and use the c-clamp and socket.

I just installed the Elite pedals this weekend. The gas pedal was imposable to install without dropping the pedal hanger to adequately access the back of the pedal. If I would have done this in the first place I could have knocked off an hour instead of fooling around with it and just getting frustrated. I would highly recommend to anyone doing the install to just drop the pedal hanger for easy access.

From experience, any time you're working on the gas pedal, it's easiest to pull out the entire assembly. No big deal, as only three bolt's and a plug in wire harness. I tried the Elite wide pedal, but didn't care for the sloppy mounting set up. Ended up with a wider bolt on piece, but that's a whole nother story.

Thanks for all the pics and comments guys. My GS order goes in tomorrow through Ken Fitchner...was debating whether to add these to the order or do it myself later..
