Default Question on A-pillar

I want to put an A-pillar gauge pod in my car, but I'm not wild about drilling my oriignal A-pillar cover. So, questions:

How hard is it to change out the A-pillar?

Anyone know about how much a replacement would cost? I have the 3LZ interior, if that makes any difference.

Thanks!

They are not hard to remove at all. Just snap in place.

I would buy a used one from Fleabay if I were you to drill into and save yours for going back to stock if the need ever arises.

Easy to remove the A-pillar, just as corvettezman said.

I was in the same predicament, I decided to drill thinking if I ever want to return to stock I could then buy a replacement A-pillar.

I went ahead and ordered a new one from one of the online GM parts dealers. P/n 20758214, $73.
