Aftermarket Handbrake options?

[akiranakayama]

Hello All,

I've been doing some research on replacing the ugly-as-sin stock handbrake. That thing just makes the car look and feel so cheap. What options have you found to upgrade it?

So far, I've found these options:

Smarts-R-Us: http://www.smartsrus.com/acatalog/Handbrake.html (Though this seems to be for the 450 model.)

Brabus: http://www.fq101.co.uk/451brabushandbrake.asp (Nearly $160!)

Berlin Tuning: http://www.berlin-tuning.com/aluhand...art-p-774.html

The Brabus option looks really nice. I'm hesitant to deal with Smarts-R-Us because of their track record with some members on the board here.

Has anyone else come across any other viable options?

I thought it looks like a Piper flap handle.

A e-brake boot would really clean everything up. I've got something in the works, stay tuned...

The berlin-tuning site has an option that looks pretty nice. I've updated the first post with a link to it. It runs about $135 I think. I wonder how much shipping and duty fee would be?

smartune, are you going to be fabricating a handbrake? That's what it sounds like, I can't wait to see what you come up with...

I fitted a $30 aftermarket handbrake cover on mine a long time ago.

the 450 and 451 have the same handbrake.

Looks pretty good Kane.... any chance you can source the kit and the Metal Monkey bottom trim piece?
