Plastic Hand Brake Cover???
Somebody on EBAY is selling three different plastic covers for the 350Z hand brake. They look pretty cool in the photos, but I was wondering if anyone here has actually purchased one? Do they look and feel like a cheap piece of plastic, or do they really enhance the interior of the car. If anyone has one of these covers, please post your input before I buy one.

theres alot of pictures there, its not doin it for me... but if you do, go for it, I would be a little concerned with how factory it will look or if itll look cheap.

Another frivolous Rice-monkey add-on. Save the money and spend it on the gas you are guzzling!
I mean really man.... Will you spend endless time sitting in your car and admiring the beauty of your handbrake lever?
Will you sleep bettter at nite knowing your hanbrake is protected by some quasi pseudo Cf or metal piece of Taiwanese workmanship?
That part belongs at Pep Boys in the "useless cheap sh*t for your car" section.
You can find it right between the do it yourself pinstriping and the Fuzzy Dice!
I might buy the Carbon Fiber one though!

OK, I am going to forget that cheap piece of crap plastic brake handle on EBAY. However, I saw this cool looking aluminum handle on the ptuning.com web site. I recently received their short, billet antenna for my 350Z and it is fantastic - so I know that they sell top quality products. Does anybody have an opinion on this metal emergency brake cover:

i have one of those hand brake covers in my z.
it's made of plastic and isn't of greatest quality, but i think it looks nice. the silver closely matches the aluminum trim. here's a link of a thread that shows the hand brake cover a little. (very little)
https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....threadid=35182
i'll take a better pic as soon as i get off work.
the other hand brakes that other members listed above involves modification to the stock hand brake lever, which i did not want to do.
