No, not a thread hi-jack at all (I should know, I do THAT all the time !!!).
I knew factory pedal pads are still available, and I'm not saying that these will be same quality, but I want to try them. And it's only one-trip to get them at NAPA, and about 6 miles away and open Sundays; I've had issues at times if I need to order stuff over the phone from the Mazda dealer (who is farther away and not open Sundays for parts).
I know some here can get factory parts as well, and will keep that in mind. The factory part number for these is S083-43-028.
