I remember back in the 70's there were pedal covers that had tabs that bent over to hold them on. They sucked. I had them.

Your not kidding what a pain to install I put in the same ones, had a bad shoulder when I did it and it was painful, they look really good, be careful what shoes you wear when driving with the extended gas pedal I find if a wear a certain pair of boots I hit the gas when breaking

Floor mats can be gotten at any Chevy dealer, but if you have issues with that, contact Maureen @ Rogers Chevrolet in Woodhaven, Michigan.

You could always adhesive these pedals on. Just make sure you use some good stuff haha. Avoid the holes with the glue and it would probably work.

I had these on my last camaro. but i bolted them in....

Now you need the heel guards.

I have the black anodized version of these in my ZL1 and agree that the installation was a bit of a pain for the clutch/brake pedal due to having to drill through the steel pedals. It was only after a few tries w/the center-punch slipping around and not making a dent because the pedals kept depressing that I found a brick and to cram under each one as I worked. That made it much easier. The gas pedal and stomp pad were a breeze.

As for the questions on Heel/Toe ease - night/day difference in ability to do so. I can now do so very easily, whereas it was pretty tough due to the distance between gas/brake before. I also encountered (wide foot) that during normal driving my foot would sometimes naturally end up resting on both the brake and the gas while stopped, which just took a few miles of conscious adjustment to get used to having my foot more centered on the brake.

Overall very happy with these!
