Whats up Brannon. I put the MOMO Pit Lane ebrake in my car. I'll take some pics and post soon. It looks real nice. It's a universal fit not too bad. I figure I could stuff something inside to make it a real tight fit, not really noticeable though

cause you don't like the look of the stock handle, that's why I did it.

Auto Exe makes one but it is quite pricey. FYI as noted in the above picture even when the E Brake is down it still looks like it is engaged.

I didn't go all fancy or weird, but I changed mine out for a leather wrapped handle. Looks pretty much stock except the part that is leather. I'll try to find a pic and the fitment was perfect and pretty easy to install.

These pictures suck, but the lever itself is pretty nice.

Don't have hardly any pics myself of the e-brake, but I did find one.

Not real impressive looking, but the leather feels great!

autoexe is just a sleeve. the stock sleeve pulls off and the autoexe slips on. 1 minute "install"

Yeah but I'm actually interested in doing what laythur did...

Laythur, how did you get that ?

Is the e-brake cover piece something u can jus snap off the shaft and slap a boot and handle over? Please advise.
