Interior Upgrade
I am about to change out / upgrade the interior on my 1999 GTS.
My current interior is the brown/cognac and I am going with black with red stitching.
I am looking for a couple of parts:
E-brake handle in black. My interior guy says this is baked/pressed on and I should look for a stock replacement.
Passenger/drivers doors in black. I plan to recover the doors in leather alcantara, but I have not seen any center door sections that have been recovered that I like. Especially the recessed door handle.
Any suggestions where to get these parts?
Thanks.

You should add in CF center console and knee bolsters.
Redline has the shift boot and ebrake boots you need.

Going for an upgraded stock look.
Not looking for the boot(s), I will get those made.....I am looking for the e-brake handle, so I have to replace the entire assembly as they are not sold separately.

I've heard the glue bond on the ebrake handle can be loosened with a hair dryer thus allowing removal without destroying it.

Gotcha. But once off it can be recovered in a leather to match the rest, with a stitching to match the rest. Just an option.

The problem is around the button hole. It is bonded/press fit and he thinks it will lift after time....

Send me a pic and price. Not sure if it will be worth it as it will only cost me $295 including removal and re-installation.....

Good call. My 2001 had recovered door panels and that section was by far the ugliest.
