Installed the lower grille and Pedals

i put on the lower grille that cover the ac condensor
it took me like 2 sec







the pedals were a pain in the ass took my like 1.5 hours
what worked best was a 10mm gear wrench for the gas
and using a real thin short screwdriver, i used a lighter to soften them other 2 pedals, strectched them some by hand and spit on the rubber so it had some slide to it
start at the top of the pedal and strech it around 3 of the corners and use the screwdriver to work the last side



FYI GM part direct

Nice work ..I plan on replacing the plastic pedals with suitable metal ones as well ...hoever I don't like the rubber on the GM ones ..I would much rather have a punch hole design

Have you used those pedals in the rain? (yea I know its kind of a stupid question but...) My foot constantly slips on the clutch pedal when my shoes are wet... I was hoping these pedals would provide more traction.

Thanks,
Rich

rained today, no slippage
got both from GM parts direct...got em for like 45 shipped for grill and 109 for pedal assem.

the pedals are worth every cent
plus i hit a bird on day 3 and had to scrape birdy off the AC condensor so the grill
is def worth it

i have both as well and i love 'em. the grill looks good and i havent had any problems with slipping on the pedals either. the pedals are a son of a b*tch to put on though. took about a hour and a half.

The reason why you hide your plate on a website is because people can see a picture of your car all your nice **** in it your licenseplate and the city that you live in and decide that they might want to steal that ****.....i think it happend with my old car cause my stereo got stollen right after i made my car domain site.

Now -a-days, you never know. People might be able to tell what you ate for dinner from your plate numbers. Well.....maybe not that much but you never know. Better safe than sorry.

Looks Great! The lower grill should be stock. The car looks better with it. The thought of that intercooler/radiator assembly sitting naked scares me. At least the grill prevents anything large from making it in there!

Who in Texas doesn't?

Definately needs the grill, I've already picked frogs out of my A/C and had a big-ass bird hit my bumper just inch or so above. Got my lower grill put in last week...
