            and the problem i am having with the e brake handle is that they are designed for a bmw... and i don't wanna spend $60 on an e brake handle. but all the cheap ones have "carbon fiber" and huge "type R" badges... were can i get a fairly priced aluminum/chrome e brake handle

              dude the moment i find one i will let you know wassup... i don't believe any one does make the combo for the accord... but that doesn't mean it can't be done. i mean no one makes a turbo for an f22a, but that hasn't stopped a lot of cb7's from being boosted!

                    No, that wasn't meant to be an insult, I'm just saying that when you do it with a boot and what not it looks good...I woulda said the same thing before I threw it together.

                        i previously had ichibahn, and it was ok:




                        momo's a lot better- look, feel, and overall quality of the parts.





                        if i had to do it over again, i would have saved up a bit more and went with the momo parts in the first place. you live, you learn, and hope to show others the error of your ways.


                        someone asked earlier in the thread: installing an ebrake isn't hard. you cut off the old rubber (as it's hot glued to the metal underneath), remove it, and put the new one on. i guess you can try to cut it to size, but that to me was a bit more difficult (as far as trying to cut it evenly all the way around), and i wanted to get an ebrake boot anyway.


                        absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

                          dude i was actually looking at that exact same ebrake handle, but in aluminum, so that it matches the shift knob...

                            momo makes good stuff.

                            if you do decide to get it, make sure you get the companion 4 dollar adaptor that momo makes. it goes on the inside of the handle, and makes sure that the ebrake remains functional (momo made the ebrake handle large so that it would be universal... some cars don't need the adaptor, some, like ours, do).
