Hey everyone! I recently took delivery of my Genesis GV70 and I am absolutely head over heels for the interior design. However, every time I look down at the footwell, the stock black rubber pedals just seem like a bit of a missed opportunity. They feel a little 'basic' compared to the rest of the premium materials used throughout the cabin, and I’m really looking to upgrade to something that matches the luxury vibe of the car.
I’ve been scouring the web for some high-quality aluminum or stainless steel pedal covers, but I’m feeling a bit stuck. I want that sleek, sporty look—similar to what you’d find on the Sport Prestige trims—but I’m concerned about the fitment. I’ve seen some cheap universal sets on Amazon, but I’m worried they might slip or feel flimsy under my feet, which is obviously a huge safety concern. I’m specifically looking for covers that provide a secure, 'bolt-on' feel without requiring me to drill into the actual pedal assembly if possible.
Has anyone here successfully installed the OEM Genesis sport pedals on a trim that didn't come with them? I’m curious if it’s a straightforward swap or if the accelerator assembly is different. Alternatively, are there any reputable aftermarket brands like SRP or others that make a set specifically molded for the GV70’s unique pedal shapes? I’m particularly interested in how they handle grip when your shoes are wet from rain or snow, as I don't want my foot sliding off the brake at a red light.
I’m willing to spend a bit more for quality and durability, so budget isn't a huge issue as long as they look factory-installed. Does anyone have photos of their setup or a specific brand they swear by for the GV70?
Just found this thread! Before you swap anything, it's important to understand that Genesis uses a floor-mounted 'organ-style' accelerator. This makes fitment trickier than hanging pedals because the clearance at the base is tight.
You might find this useful: Check out Shark Racing Genesis GV70 Aluminum Pedal Set. They're specifically molded for our floor-mounted setup and usually run around $50-$70. Also, there's a great resource at the GenesisOwners.com forum where users post technical teardowns of the Genesis OEM Sport Prestige Pedal Assembly (Part #82600-T1100).
Pro tip: If you go OEM, you often have to replace the whole module, which gets pricey. The Shark Racing ones are a solid budget-friendly middle ground that avoids the 'universal' slip risk. Just make sure to clean the rubber thoroughly first so the adhesive/clips bite properly! Hope this helps!
Just sharing my experience: I went through this exact same dilemma last year! Honestly, the stock rubber pedals were the only thing I hated about my GV70 interior. I almost pulled the trigger on the Shark Racing set mentioned above, but being a bit of a bargain hunter, I decided to try a different route first to save some cash for other mods.
I actually ended up finding the Genuine Genesis GV70 Sport Aluminum Pedal Covers through a Korean parts distributor for way less than dealership prices. The install was surprisingly chill! The brake pedal is a simple pop-off, pop-on rubber cover, but that organ-style accelerator is the real kicker. Instead of a cover, I swapped the whole module for the Genesis GV70 Sport Accelerator Pedal Assembly. It sounds intimidating, but it's just two bolts and a plug—no drilling required! The grip on the raised rubber nubs is fantastic, even in the slushy mess we get here in winter. Seriously, it feels so much more solid than those clip-on kits. Definitely worth the effort if you want that factory-fresh look without the Sport Prestige price tag!
Hi there! Congrats on the new GV70. I totally get the frustration with those rubber pedals; they honestly look so out of place in such a high-end cabin. In my experience, I've tried a few routes. I first went with some cheap covers from Amazon, but unfortunately, they were a nightmare—flimsy aluminum and the rubber nubs wore down in weeks.
For your situation, I would suggest the Genesis OEM Sport Pedal Set for GV70. It's a direct swap for the brake, but the accelerator is actually a full assembly replacement. It's a bit of a pain to install because of the floor-mounted hinge, but it feels rock-solid. Alternatively, if you want better grip for snow, I highly recommend the SRP Racing Pedals for Genesis GV70. They offer a "grid" surface that's way more technical and grippy than the OEM ones. Seriously, my foot hasn't slipped once since I switched. Hope this helps! 🏎️
Honestly, I totally agree with the suggestion about looking at those Korean distributors—that’s basically the gold standard for getting the right fitment without paying local dealer prices. I’ve spent way too much time doing market research on this stuff, and I’ve noticed the GV70 accessory market is basically split into two camps right now. * The **KDM specialty brands**: These guys focus purely on the Korean domestic market, so the stuff is basically guaranteed to fit that organ-style pedal perfectly.
* The **High-end custom brands**: I'm talking about places like SRP or similar racing-spec companies. If you go with SRP, you can't go wrong because they focus on actual track grip rather than just looking pretty. The "cheap" stuff from general sites is usually just rebranded junk, so I'd definitely stick to the brands that actually mention the GV70 by name in their R&D. Honestly, spending the extra cash is REALLY worth it for the peace of mind. Just make sure your looking at the grip patterns because some of those smooth aluminum ones can get slippery when it rains!
