I got this e-brake handle off ebay, cause I use my e-brake a lot & the stock one looks boring.
The thing is, I'm not sure how I want to put it on. Personally, I was thinking of cutting the plastic (stock) e-brake handle back far enough for it to fit. Of corse making a nice looking cut & trimming it up neat. I don't think it would look good naked with the whole plastic e-brake handle removed. Any thoughts or pics on what one might look like? I need some options here on what looks good or not.

I say the same thing, just trim it back far enough to fit the handle on and maybe make a new boot out of leather or Vinyl to finish off the rest of the handle.
And one more thing.....Ebay Link to the handle please :wave:

I'm not going to put a whole lot of time on it. Might paint the rest of, still thinking about what & how I want it to look.
They have 3 colors, red, blue & this color in the link that would match your car.

I put my E-brake handle on this past weekend. The trick is to measure the handle with it over the shaft before cutting the handle. (which I learned afterwards).

Anyhow, I had to make the best of the situation. Don't pay attention to my faded seat covers.

Yeah, If known what I know now it wouldn't look so tacky. Maybe lostforawhile can fab me up one for a decent price. (to busy on weekends fixing cars) :)
