Shiny new E-brake w/spin **** how-to
Ok, so I bought one of Japan2la's drift spin ***** and when I went to install I realized the entire e-brake handle looked like crap. SO I decided to install the **** and dress the handle up a little bit. I had a camera so I took pics. 
Now the ***** have no instructions, and really they dont need any, but I figured I'd post a lil how-to cause I'm bored. Here goes:
This is what most peoples e-brake handle looks like. Theres nicks, scratches, scuffs and etc.
This is the stock button we will obviously be removing. As you can tell mine looks nasty. Simply grip it tightly and unscrew. If your unable to get a good enough grip with your fingers a small pair of vise grips will work if you dont ever plan on reusing the button. WARNING: DO NOT CLAP THE VISE GRIPS TOO TIGHTLY OR ELSE THE BUTTON WILL SHATTER AND THEN YOU HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS.
Once the button is unscrewed (its a bit longer than you first realize) there will be a spring directly behind it.
Keep this spring safe. If you ever want they button to function normally, simply install it behind the drift ****.
This is the threaded rod the **** screws onto. As you can see it will fall making getting the **** on a lil PITA. Keep paitent, its not as bad as it sounds.
Screw the **** in half way, drop the ebrake and screw it in till it stops.
When you push the button up and pull the handle you will get your normal ratcheting-locking ebrake. Otherwise the ebrake will fall, allowing quick jabs of the e-brake during "spirited" driving.

Now we need to dress up the plastics!
Start by unscrewing this screw on down by the seat. the plastic has two sides and comes off fairly easy. Clean with mild soap and water and allow to dry completely.
A can of Dupli-color paint (as shown) and a place to paint are now needed. This vinyl and fabric paint is very runny-like so light coats do the job better.
When dry your plastics should look like new!
I even went as far as repainting the screw black. Blame it on my OCD.
Reassembled the whole thing looks gorgeous. These pics dont do it justice. Now if I can just get the rest of interior to look better.
ENJOY!
Special thanks goes to Japan2la for the great product.

I was using it point! LoL
No the hole is gettin filled with switches and gauges. One project at a time though up until the big one...the rebuild.
