My e-brake button is peeling and looks a bit crappy. Anybody replace this with something a bit nicer? Where can I get a new one? Can I get just the button from the dealer?

 

replace it with the jdm one, its gunmetal rather than chrome

 

I think you should replace it with an aftermarket button that allows you to disable the ratchet function. I saw a link to the button posted on here about a year ago. When you turn the button to "disable," the e-brake doesn't ratchet, so you can use the e-brake like a ralley car without having to keep your finger on the button to keep the e-brake from locking in the engaged position. It's kind of silly, but it looks fun.

that sounds pretty cool.

Flux - go ahead and grasp the rubber handle firmly while twisting it side to side...it will pull off leaving the button exposed.

 

wow - I though mine was the only POS that was peeling!
anybody know where I can find the JDM one?

 

isn't there a way you can just peel off the chrome?

No luck with a search on that name?

 

CUSCO also makes them...Dynamic Autosports in Lake Forest, CA should have them in stock (949)457-1234 That's where I got mine.

if you depress the stock button and drill a very small hole through the handle and the button you can stick a cotter pin through it and get the same effect. you wont be able to do that on the fly though.

 

Weird, my 95 GSR isn't peeling (almost 130k miles too)...

I'd just hit up a junkyard for that civic one.

 

yea. mines been been peeling too...but o well...

 

mine too is peeling! gotta go to the junkyard one of these days

 

I replaced mine with a stock one for $4 CAD from the dealership.

Damn I might have to look into that. I make rally style u-turns at least 2 times a day and that e-brake ratchet is a bitch some times.

 

does spoon sports make e-brake handles?

Who doesn't? It can be useful to make a u-turn on a 10' turning radius.

 

put electrical tape on it.. my hatch's handle is wrapped in electical tape.. looks good IMO. and good grip for *** end slides
