Default No brake pedal cover?

Is that a real common thing for the auto cars to miss the brake pedal cover. I got my C5 w/ 75k and it was gone and I just saw pics of another w/ it gone?

Anyone sell them because it bugs the **** out of me.

I'm not sure but I think they come stock like that, because I got a 99 and it doesn't have one either.

There are no covers on the brake or clutch pedals of any C5.

You can get a matching accelerator and dead pedal from Eckler's, Corvette America, etc. They look pretty cool.

Yup, no covers. Just an aluminum casting. While it looks nice, its pretty impractical. Anyone ever drive your C5 in the rain? Slipping on the brake an clutch ain't exactly safe!

No covers on the Brake and or Clutch pedals. I think the bare metal is cool.
