I heard boiling water and some gloves was the easiest, but still a P.I.T.A.

NOPE! i have 2 SRT8 items. The grille insert and now the pedals. I have one more part on the way, the front strut brace. Once Daniel gets a chance to paint it. But thats it.
The Grey Ghost is no POSER! :lol:

I was ready for you. The F'ing funny thing is I have no hair dryer. My GF said her stuff is not allowed in the garage! So I went to garage sales on Saturday looking for a working blow dryer. Got one in my first hour. Its rather new and I paid 4 bux for it. So now its the Garage Heat Gun!

Yeah they were a pain in my A$$ (actually the break pedal was the only difficult one)!!! I got some mean blisters too, and I used soap but it just made it harder to hold haha.

I should have mine tomorrow, we will see how hard/easy they are to install.

Installed mine today, Took about 20 minutes.
The gas pedal was easy as it should be, the brake pedal was not too bad, i did not even heat it up.
I managed to get the bottom and the left side on all at once and then i just did a little careful prying to get the rest over and it was on. They look good, i love them. I will take pics tomorrow, i went out to take pics and my battery in the camera was dead.

Are these replacement pieces or cover-like?? My 06 had them but my 07 does not :(

The Brake pedal is a replacement cover for the stock rubber cover. the gas pedal is a snap on cover.

Why? I like them. We get heavy winters and they protect my floor. i know they dont look amazing but to me the have more coverage then the weathertech liners.

Relax lol, I was gonna reccomend you the ones I got. For about 30 bucks it covers almost every nook and cranny of the carpet. I know about the heavy snows etc, we have it here too in nyc.

Btw, I never realized the pedals were only 40 bucks. For some odd reason I thought they were 100+ :lol:

No problems with mine...but we don't really get harsh winters so I can't really talk:). Yeah there has to be something you can find that are that size or cut something down to fit!

got sore hands and back, but the final look is worth it.. the SRT pedals rock :).

They are fine in the winter. They get dirty but wash off really easy with a little soapy water. Absolutely no slippage with the design. And yes, my brake petal was a SOB to get on. Especially due to the contortion of my body in order to get into a position to bear down on it.
