Hell yeah it looks tight and it's worth every penny.
I just can't hack that right now. That is the hotness and I wish I could.

You did a great job. Good choice too.

You wont find any to fit at crappy tire without doing a lot of customization. I know, I tried Biohazards way also, bought a generic handle and tried drilling it out, was just too much work and couldn't get it to fit properly.

You need about a 1" inside diameter opening for it to fit, length doesn't really matter as you can make up any difference with the boot.

check out http://shop.vendio.com/crowderscustomizing/category/8/. These are less expensive and I emailed them and they have said that these will fit our cars. You can always email him for dimensions

another stupid question but the push button, can we change it to chrome? do they sell an adapter or something?

cause with such a nice handle the plastic push button looks out of place!

You can't change your push button, its basically all one piece in the handle, but you can get adapters that go over top. Momo has them and so does the company I had the link to.

I haven't stuck it yet, it is the right shape it just sits nicely in there. If i do decide to stick it i will just use thin strips of velcro so its easy to remove if i decide to change it some time in the future.

sorry to bump this again

but the adapters aren't just to help fit on the handle? I thought they went before the handle to fit on the actual e-brake

so the momo doesn't come with a chrome button, that sucks.

also could you be more specific on the trimming that was required and how it was done? I'm about to order this..

thanks

You don't need the adapter, the handles come with allen screws and a hex wrench...thats all you need for install.

I don't think theres a boot big enough to fit over the stock brick of a handle...so no...and it would look horrible anyway.
