Default Sigh...just found out how much burnt orange ebrake handle cost

I always wanted a burnt orange ebrake handle (as in the attached photo) to match my burnt orange interior. I really did not like how the aftermarket ebrake leather cover looked. Since my cousin is currently studying in London so I asked him to ask a local UK Nissan dealer how an OEM burnt orange ebrake handle would cost. I checked that online a U.S.-spec black ebrake assembly cost about $100. He called me this morning from the dealer and guess how much it costs?? 220 pounds, which is approximately $380!!! I knew things in UK cost more, but not 4X as much. I told him I would have to pass on it. Anyone with any other ideas on how I can get a cheaper price?

Ill see what i can do NISSAN directly...

Factory part is around $120 for the assembly...

The only issue I see is since it is leather, not being able to bring it in depending on the type it is... Certain fabrics can not be brought in through NISSAN from Japan to Here etc... which sucks... but I dont think there will be a problem with it...

Jason, since you are checking can you also look into the Burnt Orange Shift ****. I know its been asked by others on here before and no one can seem to find a good place to get them.

Thank you!!! I hope you will be able to bring the price to a more reasonable level. While you are checking, can you see if you can get the steering wheel with the lower portion covered in burnt orange leather as well?

Bought a 1/2 hide of the leather and had a local upholstery shop wrap the armrests. I still have enoght leather left but don't know if they could do the Ebrake for me.

shift **** e brake and steering wheel would be cool, I already bought redlines black ebrack and sift boot in black with orange stitching to match the interior, I think just the orange seats w/ everything else in black looks dumb thats why I am also going to wrap my under strut sub box in the orange leather material, I think it will look great!

That is exactly what I want, only difference would be I will be using two 10" subs. If you don't mine me asking where did you find the leather or is it vinyl?

PS - I love that center console too, very nice.

It's vinyl on the sub surround but leather on seats and armrests. Got the material from leatherseats.com They supplied my seats, armrests, and shift boot. I got the matching vinyl from them as well, and also VERY cheap. Just sent off for some more for my next "interior" project. More pics are here:
