I just emailed autoparts.com as I am interested in these mods also. Please post if anyone hears any more info. I would like to have leather accents to door panels also. Has anyone done this? It would be nice to break up all that grey/blk.

Great work mdacko!!! I cant wait. Do you know what they are going to be working on? I would love a steering wheel, hand brake, and the arm rests on the doors. This is great news!

Wow a steering wheel cover in burnt orange would be awesome and some door panel accents in burnt orange would look freakin' tight.

Hi all, I have a UK spec Zed coming my way around mid November in alezan leather, I'm looking to swap out the orange gear shift & hard brake lever for black ones. I've already sourced a shift **** in black and I'm looking for a hand brake lever now.

Does anyone know where I can get one? Has anyone replaced theirs? I'm not even sure if the brake lever is the same in RHD?

The wheel i like very much, i also like the hand braked. The shifter i would have to see in person.
If you want to trade your Orange hand brake for my black one, i would do that.

hey guys. autocarparts is still working on the two tone steering wheel cover, and the burnt orange shift boot. Im surprised this actually worked, but I guess I harassed them long enough. On a side note, if anyone in Europe would like to trade their ebrake for mine, or sell me yours, PM me or email mdacko@umich.edu

The more emails they get the better, and the more people they get hounding them for this item, the morI am e likely it is that they will make it for us!

I'm sure you could order them from the european market.

Try emailing/calling Middlehurst Nissan or even JapanParts

I priced the shiftknob alone in the UK--over $200.00 US + ship
