I baught the after-market CF, and buffed blue steel Ebrake handle from ebay that is for *all cobalts*
I took off the black cover, and tried to slip it on, didn't work.
So I then started breaking off the black plastic that is on there real tight. After breaking it all off, (now in pieces) I tried to slide the ebrake handle back on, still didn't fit, and I messed up my E-brake. Chewed the guy out and he sent me free bluish tinted headlight lightbulbs. lol
Ebrake still works, and you can't tell I messed it up because I slid the big cover back over it, but it feels loose when I use it.
Be careful whatever you do with it.

Just for wanting a different e-brake handle? I'm sorry, I'm not all that into appearance but even I think the stock one looks like ass and would like to change it. How exactly is this "rice"?

It's not. People just like making pointless posts to increase their overall.

It's sorta plain looking I guess. I am pretty happy though. My old car is a '92 Lumina Z34 5-Speed that has the crappy double pump, spring release parking brake mounted left of the steering wheel like almost all the automatic cars have. It's nice to have a proper parking brake that works!

I'm interested in one also. I agree the stock one looks like poo poo. If a vendor could make one just for us, that would be sweet! (and also if it wasn't over like $100 because some of those prices can be ridiculous)

I need a whole nother brake handle.
When trying to fit the "custom for cobalt" ebrake from ebay (like i posted above), i broke the black plastic wrapping off of it, thinking it would fit. It did'nt.

still functional and cannot tell from looks, just feels weird when I pull it up :P

Yeah the scratches I dont like, some one gotta come out with something, because the E-brake is the thing I dislike most about the interior
