Well I was driving the other day and I noticed my hand and steering wheel covered in blood! Turns out the chrome thats flaking off my shifter cut my finger and it bled like hell.

So I guess I'll just peel the rest off and sharpie it or something. But yeah it was messy.

Just thought I'd share I found it pretty funny yet odd at the same time.

 

haha quite funny, but don't sharpie it, just spend $10-$15 on ebay and get a dinky e-gay shifter.. will look better than dull sharpie, that'll "sweat off" onto your hand, if you sweat onto it!

 

lol that sux. my chrome is coming off there and on the tip of the ebrake. but i only drive with 1 hand so im safe from a blood filled steering wheel

edit: Buy new from honda lil high but NICE

 

ttiuwop!!

 

hah! SAME thing happened to me. dont use sharpie tho, itll rub off. i just did a quick sanding job and sprayed it black. i need to do the ebrake button but i havent taken the time to figure out how to get it off.

 

This happens to me all the time in my 5th gen inside door handle. Some of the plastic cracked off and I leave this little piece hanging off and can't stop playing with it, lol.
It cuts the inside of my finger all the time like an annoying paper cut but I don't know the best way to fix it and can't find anyone that sells replacements or even the whole console.

I like those fake Type R black ones with the red stitching. Too bad it doesn't fit with my dark blue interior

 

Haha yeah the damn thing cut me again today. Wasn't nearly as bad but yeah how do you get the shifter off? Cause I think I'll just paint it and it's kinda loose anyways so it could use a tightning.

 

crome is coming off my shifter and ebrake too, stupid honda not thinking of that when they made the prelude..

to get the shifter off just push down on the chrome part until it pops.

same lol i love the blue interior but when i go looking for aftermarket parts it makes it so hard

 

the new little ebrake chrome button thing costs like 2.50 from honda. and they just screw on and off.

 

Yeah I'll probably just paint everything either black or match my interior and paint it blue.

 

Man, be careful not to get any of that chrome inside your fingers. I'm a machinist, back in about '89 I got some chrome off a lathe handle buried in my finger, went to bed, woke up with a goddamn bratwurst stuck on my hand! Chrome/Chromium contains quite a bit of mercury which is not good.
