RE: E-Brake Handle!
Your going to need to cut the old ebrake handle off. Is your car a 5th gen or 6th?
If it's the same generation as mine than you will need to cut off the handle. Theres a specific way to do it tho. You hack along the seam length wise untill you get down to the metal rod underneath. Than pry off the plastc and all you should have left is a metal rod and the button at the end jutting out about an inch. Than you will need to lube up the metal rod with soap (i used) and with a board of wood hammer it onto the rod.( the board will obsorb the blows and not damage the ebrake handle). Then should be all set.
Go with whatever theme you want for your car, mine is blue interior so everything I went with is blue..

RE: E-Brake Handle!
yeah they're universal.
i have the silver/carbon fiber one. I think it looks great when it's installed. I was thinking it would be too ricey, but once I installed it, it didn't really give off that look. Although, I also installed a black leather e-brake boot, which really accentuates the handle. I don't think it would look as good without the boot.
here's a pic... ugly tan interior -ugh.
