OBX pedal covers and big feet
I'm 6' tall w/size 12 feet. I find that my left foot tends to hit the clutch arm instead of the pedal. I have to twist my left leg a bit or point my left foot in order to make good contact with the pedal... Does the OBX pedal piece replace the existing pedal or simploy go on top? (My though is that if it fits on top, it might keep my foot from hitting the arm.
I've found it much easier to drive sans shoes - especially when I'm wearing ones with big /wide soles.

Seat back
I should have pointed out that I already have the seat slid fully back. I keep the rear of the seat as low as possible, with the front as high as possible. Also, taking off my shoes solves the problem nicely and allows me to slide the seat forward a couple clicks.

I am not that big, 5' 7", shoe size 9 1/2, but I also hit the pedal arm. I have the OBX covers and they don't help much. I don't feel like making adjustments, so I am just getting used to it. It doesn't bother me much but I do think that it is a poor design.
I think that part of the reason is that the pedal is closer to the floor than in most cars. With my heel on the floor, I hit the clutch pedal a little below the ball of my foot. The toe are of my shoe hits the arm. It should be redesigned by raising the pedal vertically or by putting more of a bend in the arm to get the arm out of the way.
A thicker pedal cover might help but the OBX cover isn't much thicker that the original.

That's odd. I'm 6'3" and wear a 14 shoe. I have only test drove the TC for ~10 minutes and I didn't notice a problem.
But, now I will go back for another test drive and verify that there's no problem before getting my name on the list.
Thanks for the heads up!
