Used the plastic cover as a template. It splits in half, so trace the big half on some vinyl. Add about an inch around it, cut that out. Flip it over and make it an inverse replica of it. I folded the top ends down and sewed them first, then layed the 2 pieces together (inside out) and sewed them together. Flipped it inside out, cut a hole in the bottom for it to slip over, and it was done.

Seriously took me an hour from thinking "An e-brake boot would look good", to thinking "wow, that e-brake boot looks good".

...or a 260-280z e-brake handle.
I'll get pics once I figure out how to fix that stupid threaded rod that goes down into the handle fml.

Very nice interior you have there. S4 radio surround never looked so good. I'd copy, but I'm afraid I'd break it during the installation after spending all that time prepping and painting it

I do like the S5 handle. I never knew they were different until you just pointed that out.

BTW. Women sew, men use machines to sew for them.
