Everything is over the top expensive when you buy it with the car. Get the things you can't live without and you can purchase these mods later usually for less money on your own time. Forget things like cargo & floor mats, fake cargo cover rip off for $170, when the GS already comes with one....sill covers, & dumb sh** like that just adds to the price of the car. You can get that later if you want. Go for things like the colored calipers, and performance items if anything.

Thanks for the reply.
WOW! Didn't know the cargo cover was already on the GS. Wonder what is already there...
Performance items... I looked at the special air intake for $600 or $700 and research shows it adds no HP to the LT1 engine. Sigh... Yeah, I've added painted calipers.
Total ripoff for what it is. How long could it take to embroider one of those?
Heck, I just figured they have a bunch of lids sitting around--some without embroidery and some with. No change to assembly time and certainnly, at the volume they order build parts, having an embroidered top or plain top couldn't be a supplier cost of $295 ! Wow, what markup !
I don't know, if I like something enough I buy it. If you feel it's a rip-off then don't buy it.
I didn't really buy mine because of the embroidery, but because I wanted the console lid to match the adrenaline red seats.
I believe I paid more like $265 for mine and it was only $30 or so more than the same without embroidery.

Thanks, Kevin. Yeah, you had an extra reason to choose this. The interior I want is black and the lid will be black with or without embroidery.
^ Yep, personally I wouldn't have spent the $ just for the embroidery, I just wanted a little more red. But for an extra $30 or so thought it was well worth it.

If paying over $10,000.00 for some cheap ornamental trinkets and other gimmicks can make sense....??? ..
Sounds like someone has GS envy....lemme guess? Couldn't afford the GS, so rather than accept that, you make yourself feel better about it by saying the extra coin for the GS is just 'gimmick' and 'ornament'.
