Hello all, hoping to enjoy being here. Picked up a cream puff 2015 GS Sport with just 42K on the clock. Figuring out the mouse has been a chore but hopefully I got everything set up. Looking under the hood I see that I need a few of those plastic buttons that secure the beauty covers. Are they dealer items only or can I find them elsewhere?

Congrats on your new ride. You can buy those clips anywhere…Amazon, AutoZone, etc

What (is) the color of the leather, persimmon? Took a looong time to set everything up with that mouse and I’m not sure I got all of it either!

It's called Cabernet. 2015 was the last year for it on the GS.

Thanks, found those plastic buttons on Amazon. Hadn’t really noticed before but it does have an F Sport badge on it. 8 speed as it’s RWD too. Is the center engine cover easy to remove?

The engine cover is super easy to remove. Just grab on to it and pull up. It just pops up/off.

@Jakerin Congrats on the GS! Very rare find with the Atomic Silver and Cabernet interior!

Thanks, holy cow what a bunch of stuff under that cover! As for rarity, I actually found another identical GS but that dealer wanted 6K over high blue book for it and it had 20K more miles than the one I bought.
