***Red Stitching e-brake handle***
Hello everyone I recently got the redline goods console cover, e-brake and shift boots. After installing them it made my e-brake handle look ratty, so I've been looking for replacements. I didn't want to spent a fortune for the spirit R handle. I then found this on flea bay and gave it a try.

a pic of it installed
I did have to cut the lower collar to get it to fit. It's not as nice as a spirit R handle
but for $25 it's better than what was originally there. and matches nicely with the redline goods.

Hi
it slides on the existing handle. And it should be glued down to the handle next to the button... So in all this install shows a hasty, but not the perfect way to install it. It's not really noticable in the car though, you're not likely (and your passengers even more) to notice it when you're driving. If it would bother you to know it's there, you need to glue it down ,but frankly I myself couldn't be bothered.
Have a great day,
Maciek

I will post some pictures after I receive my cover and install it. This is a great option for me because:
1: My e-brake looks horrible as its the only part of my interior that hasnt been replaced/refinished
2. I could not get off my e-brake handle without destroying it
3. This cover will match the stitching in the rest of my interior

The OEM shifter and ebrake boot is made of cheap black vinyl. IIRC Mazda then lamanated it to fabric to keep it from splitting before warranty was through. On many cars that vinyl had separated and peeled from the fabric beneath it. They're about as "classy" as Roseann Barr popping out of a 10 yr old's birthday cake.
I've been running the Redline goods boots in my car for about 7 years and been very happy. Unlike that faux leather OEM boot your so proud of, it's real leather with real stitching and has stood the test of those years. Longer than OEM did.

I think everyone heard you the first time you were wrong in this thread.

Getting the leather wrap cool
, but the red stitching just looks out of place in a 17-year-old car. I’m sure you have seen the Honda Civics with the different color sectional seats and stitching well that’s kind of what it looks like. This entire thread should be in the Interior section where it belongs and since I rarely look there, I wouldn't have to look at it

REALLY, this is the best you can do???
1994 OEM interior EXCEPT floor mats, boost gauge, wideband, PFC, and radar.
I sold this car for almost TWICE as much as I paid for it and didn't have to spend $300.00 plus dollars to make it look like a Honda

You could be right sir and maybe I am wrong but when you are one out of 100 people doing something normally, it doesn't make you special. It just means you might want to look around!

I think you made your opinion pretty clear, how about you meander off to another thread and share your amazing insight elsewhere, Oh Rotary Guru....thanks much.
