Hey Leo, I have the MGW handle, and love it. It really looks factory, next to the satin dash, and silver 5-speed shifter top.

I like the leather, the metal handle looks a little bulky.

One thing though - that baby gets HOT if your car's in the sun awhile!

I have the chrome brake handle. I am very happy with it. I think either the satin or chrome looks great especially with the IUP. I mixed up my MGW stuff, I have the satin A/C ***** and chrome brake handle, cupholder and door locks.

I vote leather.

I have several MGW pieces, but the e-brake handle cover is a bit too much for me.

I'd go with the MGW handle cover AND a Redline Products leather e-brake boot. At least that is my plan.

Email Clevparts@aol.com for pricing.

I'm going to let the poll run a few more days but I think I'm leaning towards the leather wrapped. After viewing Bills and others pics of it installed I think it's a bit bulky and the leather handle would be alot more classy and suttle.

They both look good to me but I picked the MGW for myself. It tied the interior together in my car with the additional satin A/C ***** and power plug delete. It is a little thicker but you really don't pay it any mind after a short while.

And while it doesn't often hit 100F/40C here the handle has rarely been really hot. One day the sun was coming in the windshield directly on it and it was hot but not so much you couldn't touch it.

I have most of the MGW interior pieces, but the ebrake handle just looks too bulky for my taste. The leather one however looks great. Got the Hotsheet from Kevin and will be ordering soon. Oh yeah, they also have a leather shift boot with red stiching...kinda goes with the car, ya know?

If you have the mgw products, wouldn't the handle work well with the rest?

....

TKS for all the opinions. I think I've decided to go the leather route. I'm trying to find a shop in san diego because i want to get my center console armrest, door armrest, and possibly my dash wrapped in leather. I think it will be cheaper than getting all the parts replaced.
