    Mine are shot. They look to be a pain to replace.

    Should I keep them as is or bite the bullet and replace them?

    Not only is the rubber shot, the piece of metal in the lower right is rusty and has a chunk missing. There is rust visible elsewhere too. Might want to do something about that.

    It looks like you're so far into the rust I wouldn't do anything drive the crap out of the car.
