Expensive but worth the money after you get it on.

Here's a few not so great pics we took as it was getting dark. Sorry for the blurry one.

and excuse the messy car... april refuses to clean it in the winter for me

but she put the cover on for me and got it all cinched up tightly after I screwed it up the first time lol

looks good. i have been wondering what that looks like. it just fits over the stock e brake?

PreludeTuner23 · 02-06-2004, 07:02 PM

yeah... you have to open it up by unlacing it, then wigggle it down to the notch in the plastic. The thread is kind of sticky feeling and good grief INDUSTRIAL strength. You could probably hang yourself with it... so pulling it tight isn't a problem because it absolutely can handle you tugging on it fairly hard.

The biggest problem we had was gettinig it all the way down on the brake handle. It adheres to the plastic and it makes it hard to move. So you have to unlace it loosely so you have a little room to move it around. Once its in place, just make sure its straight and start tightening the laces back up. She used a tiny pair of tweezers and a curved needle when it got close to the sides touching. Took 3 passes to get it finally closed up entirely but she's picky as hell and wanted it to be perfect.

that was my plan on my car too...that looks awesome! Where did you get the shift knob and the ebrake cover (i already have the shift boot) do you like the shift knob?

Shift knob is from handaaccessories.com sells for like $30, it's exactly the same as the typeSH knob but with red stitch. The ebrake cover I got from some dude on ebay, i have to say they are EXTREMELY hard to find which is unfortunate cause I think it looks great. Cost $65 for the cover alone......
