I've been toying with that idea for awhile. I have family that is very good at sewing. I just need to find the Alcantara or similar fabric. The few stores I have been to do not have it.

Redline Goods has done my shift and e-brake boots, armrests, and door bars. The quality of their products are top notch.

lol, yes, yes they are. I really like your audio setup Chris, if herself didn't kill me over boot space I'd love to built on my HK with a decent bass setup like yours.

How'd you do the E-Brake handle? I did my shifter and e-brake boots a while back in blue Alcantara and I have a good amount left over.

Remove the end piece by the button and then the handle slides off. Take a piece of tape or a pencil to mark top dead center on the handle and the direct bottom of the handle. Cut a piece of leather to wrap around the handle, lining up the ends with the bottom of the handle. If you want stitching (like I have on mine) mark along the top where the stitching goes.

Add stitching, then sew the cover onto the handle itself using a herringbone stitch. Slide the handle back on the e-brake shaft, tucking the ends into the lower trim ring, then slide the upper ring on, tucking in the other ends before securing the ring. I think it took me all of 30-45 minutes to do mine.
