Default Leather E-Brake Handle?

I can't seem to find anything in the search so I'll just make a new post.

I have a 98 civic ex and was wondering if there is an all leather e-brake handle that could fit in place of the stock handle for this car?

This is an image I found online of what I actually like....

This is an old pic of the interior of my car however the shift handle and boot, ebrake handle and boot are still what's in my car.

The Momo ebrake handle to me is just too flashy for the type of interior I have. That's why I'm interested in an all Leather handle like the one I posted above.

Thanks

There's nothing stock/OEM for the 98 Civic, but there are a number of aftermarket companies that specialize in leather bits for cars. Italian leather, well made, perfect fit, etc. Hate to say this, but try eBay for starters - and go from there.

I'm sure someone could make one for you. Or you might be able to make another stock one from another car fit.

I looked around the net and I can't really find many options. The only thing I can think of is just getting the stock handle, but in black.

If you want a black e-brake handle you're going to want to use a CTR or Integra handle. They both came in black.

Try looking at photos of other Honda models too. There might be one you like that you could make fit.

After looking at the stop ebrake handle again... it just looks soo cheap compared to what I have and the Pic above of the leather ebrake handle I linked.

Id really like to find that or if there is a leather cover I could put over the stock one. That would be sufficient.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the Integra will fit. The 5G Civic ones definitely fit 6G Civics.

I would check out a junkyard, find something similar on any old car, and try to make that work, you may need to trim or stitch a little bit or something, but it could definitely work.

Go to your local wednesday/sunday market. Possibly find someone that will stitch one up as long as you give the dimensions.
