At Mania's dyno day I purchased a few goodies, since the standard SE gear knob and handbrake arent exactly anything to write home about. This isnt a how to, but a few photos of semi important bits. After the refit of the handbrake handle, it looks fantastic, especially with the red stitching to match the seats. At $70 from mania for the boots I can definately reccommend it

Standard Form:


Standard gaiter. Was easy to unclip, however the new one required stretching to get it to fit, but it wasnt hard:


New Handbrake handle, Gear knob and Gaiter:


Parts Installed (but not properly):


It is a great design of using an O ring to secure the handbrake boot (anyone who's fitted one would understand), however the voodoo handle is thicker than the oem one, hence why it couldnt be pulled back any further. The stiching looks stretched, and it just looks plain ugly with the lump, so along came plan B. I removed the plastic cover over the handle, then used to zip tie to secure the boot just below the bottom of the handle:


Finished product:

I have them aswell the leather is very soft and sensual to touch.
I have the same knob too, its nice and fits into the palm of your hand very well.

I'd have thought you'd be running without the boots Wun... save some weight

Very nice fuzzlet
Don't mean to bring you down or anything... but it's just a shame the voodoo pearl (?) doesn't match the SE trim
(can you tell I'm obsessive compulsive?)

good work.

i want a handbrake like that. how much do mania sell them alone/

looks the goods, I like

Yea matching would of been good, but I think the only thing that would of matched would of been maybe carbon fibre...Even then its not exactly a match...Im eventually gonna replace the grey sections of the interior with brushed aluminium anyway, so it'll match then

Sliq - Handbrake handle was $130, but apparently I bought their last one and they cant source any more
