AutoExe Parking Brake Lever with pics
Just arrived today and took about 10 seconds to install.
Big thank you to japanparts for the fast shipping.
The instructions are in japanese but so simple you don't need them. It looks like the suggest you cut your old plastic cover to get it off, mine just came off with some strong tugging. The autoexe one just slides over the handle and you're done.
It's not inexpensive, but I really didnt like the stock PB cover.

one man's unique is another man's cheesy.
I didn't say it was for everyone, just people who wanted something other then stock or leather wrapped stock.

I will admit that for the price I assumed it was a bolt on replacement, not a replacement cover. It has done what I wanted so I am happy with it.

Looks great and matches the interior well, but i need to spend that kind of money elseware on my car. The stock one is rather ugly/plasticy by comparison, though.

I like the autoexe handbrake. Only problem I have with it is that it doesn't go all the way down. So it kinda always looks like it is up. I would have to modify the whole handle so that when it is down it sits flush with the console. I will keep my stock one for now, but I do plan on changing it, I'm sick of my friends pulling on it to see if a sword comes out.

I agree that having the brake handle sit flush with the console would look a bit better. The only thing I've seen even close to it is the gigantic aluminum one that's made.
