I have the posts in my '06 Vette and the hooks in my Camaro; like the hooks much better. Also, looking at the picture of the mat you posted, it looks like they are the hook style.

Wrong Floormats?
I recently acquired an 07z06, and I think these might be the wrong floormats for the 07 style floor mat holders, can someone please confirm?

The floormats I have are for the hook style correct? Is there a way to modify the drivers side so it can work with the post style?

newer hook style
I would think so, may have to remove the carpet to get the part in snaps into out? Part on left is under carpet with part on right snapped over it.

The ones for Hooks have holes all the way thru them and the ones for posts have a plastic groove on the bottom that clips into the post.
05 to early 07
late 07 to 13
For other peoples information : they also moved the passenger side hook over 1" to the left in late 2013 cars. So you have to measure or check VIN when ordering aftermarket floor mats.

I'm sure they are available on gmparts direct or other gm parts supplier also. Just have to dig to find the part number, but I can't seem to find it listed or the front carpets at all.

My 05 had the mats for hooks when I bought it. They were light grey instead of ebony and wouldn't stay in place. A phone call to West Coast Corvettes and the correct Lloyd mats were on the way. The post type mats have a plastic tab on the bottom that snaps to the post. Once the correct mat is secured you can't see anything. Our Lexus had the hooks and our 2014 Mercedes has posts. With posts, removing the mats to vacuum is seldom necessary because there's no hole for dirt to get under the mat.
Here's the correct mat installed with posts.
