I want to replace those rubber pads on the break and clutch pedals. Is this feasible? They are worn flat, especially the clutch.

yeah typically they should just slip off. Or you can upgrade them to some metal ones too. I'm sure Ford will sell you rubber replacements for about $35/pedal, knowing Ford. LOL.

You can buy some racing pedals and throw them on there. I'm sure they'd give you at least an extra 500 HP.

Call them up and see if they want to sponsor you too.

Sponsor for $15? Naw, I'd rather just pay the money. Sponsors are a pain in the ass, LOL.

I have the metal ones in my green explorer. Somewhat a pain to get the gas on in. Ended up just screwing it straight to the old pedal instead of using their hokey design. They work GOOD for wet/snowy/muddy shoes. Just because they have a sandpaper type of feeling on them.

Looks pretty good. I need the clutch as well. I went to Checkers, not too much there. I'll try the AutoZone. I notice one thing about my Explorer. The distance that I like the seat from the wheel determines that the distance from the pedals is not what I want. Looks like these pedals may solve that issue. Thanks for all the input.
