Switchin out the parking brake handle. (update with pics)
I noticed in all the pics of users rides ive seen here nobodys taken on the task of putting a different parking break handle instead of the stock look. I took it upon myself to get a shifter **** and matching parking brake handle set online and install them. Ill get you guys pics soon but i gotta say it looks good when done, although its very apparent from what i had to do that this is not something that is meant to be done. (*updated*) i got a friend to host the pics for me, please be kind to his server. You can check out the cars interior, new tail lights, removed "Civic" and "LX" from the back and cleared the headlights, HERE lemme know what you think of all of it.

Rep Power: 282 Yeah actually you do have to cut it off... I suggest using something very sharp and easy to guide, because if you miscalculate your cut you end up with a large gaping section tat looks really bad...

Rep Power: 282 Yeah... plus you better make sure that you have an ebrake handle that fits. I went through one that didn't allow the release button to fit, and most handles don't come with thier own release buttons...

Rep Power: 0 Yeah, theres a bit of cuttin and then, if the parking brake handle just barely fits you gotta file/saw/cut off two thin metal pieces on the drivers side of the e-brake handle. didnt take me a whole lot of time after i got the guts up to just cut the rubber and go at it. once you get past the first cut its the point of no return, do it right of have a jacked up lookin e-brake. Thanks for the compliments guys, i was a little weary on how itd look but i think it came out well.
