How are you matching the CTS pedals to the brake pedals?
Just wondering how everyone is matching their Cadillac CTS gas pedal to the brake pedal so they look like they came that way?
I know it's trivial, but the brake pedal on my 71 camaro has horizontal ribs and the Cadillac gas pedal as little inverted squares and I wanted them to match.
I thought about getting a caddilac brake pedal pad, but those brake pedals are smaller so i would have to file mine down to fit.
Any suggestions?

I used a pedal from a 2009 Impala SS, which is interchangeable with the pedal you have. The Impala pedal is easy to modify and I used the original gas pedal from the Cougar and attached it to the Impala pedal.

I realize you already have the CTS pedal, but the C6 Corvette pedals have the exact same gas pedal as the early 70's Chevys, and the chrome trim will even fit them if your car has that. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2005-13-C6-C...3D291641243553

The C6 and the Impala SS pedals are very similar and pretty cheap! It took me forever to figure out how to find them on Rockauto.com. They are listed under Interior...DOH!!!

Thanks guys, I played with the pedal angle on an old bracket and couldn't get it to sit right and look good in the car anyways
I've looked at the corvette pedal but already bought this one so i want to go ahead and use that.
Scarebird makes a bracket for 2nd gen, but I was trying to avoid welding a spud on the pedal. But it looks like I have to for this to fit right. Good thing is I can use my stock pedal so it all works out in the end

My brake pedal didn't match very well either. Here's another option for you if you haven't finished yet. My GMMP gas pedal is shown in the pic below with my original brake pedal pad. I found a pedal pad that was used on 2003-2007 Cadillac CTS that matches pretty good. I then found a brake pedal assembly on Ebay from a Cadillac and got the entire assembly for $20. I plan on using the end piece that the pad fits around and welding it to my brake pedal arm so I don't have to make that piece. The pad can be bought at Big Daddy Caddy (that name is easy to remember ) - I put the business card in the pic. Keep us posted on how it turns out.
