CF Lovers will want this!

[mazdilla]

This is what I installed in my car. I peeled off the Mazdaspeed sticker and found a really nice e-brake handle underneath!

... it's the real McCoy. I also bought my CF mirror covers from him.

(I am not promoting, just sharing.)

I'm almost positive that it's fake CF overlaid with plastic.

[mazdabetty]

oooooh I like this!!!!!!!! Fits all models?? I wants.

[FLIPDADY]

Still cheaper than the Mazdaspeed version. Too bad the outer ring is chrome and not brushed aluminum.

I suppose real CF vs fake makes the e-brake lighter and faster? lol

[S.F.W.]

[Zoom Zoom Boy]

+1; what's the OEM one cost?

About $300.00.

[Egierda]

About $300.00.
It's a little less than that actually. I've seen them go for as low as $150ish.

[silentRAGE]

how much did you pay for it at the end of the day with shipping?

[Soyabean]

i have one of these in my car for like 2 years already. Its ok... The screws always come loose and the handle is not secure. Its meh.

Seriously, it's real CF covered with plastic and quality polished aluminum fittings. I have one in my car.

I do not have any di-Noc in my car, period. I can't stand the sh*t.

The guy is in Vermont and is good to Canadians when it comes to shipping. Check this out too:

Thanks for the link. The price is $205.00 on the U.S. site and $225.00 retail, but doesn't include shipping and customs fees to bring it into Canada. When all is said and done, it is going to be close to $300.00 to get it to your door.

The price I provided was for if you are going to purchase from a Canadian Mazda dealer. Their cost is over $200.00 for this part and it retails over $300.00. With TM3 discount and taxes, it works out to be around the $300.00 range. I know this because I just had Joe at MOT price it for me last week.

[Egierda]

^^^ Fair enough. $300 is bloody ridiculous, lol.





I still don't think that this is a "quality" piece. Generally speaking, you get what you pay for.

$25

It looks fine and works perfect. Mine does not come loose.

[Rob23]

that is a good deal, i may pick up one of these.

I'm with ya on the $300 OEM gouge, as well as an ugly $80 Momo handle...

...but this piece is well constructed, fits right, and looks good. I don't install junk in, or on my car.

My 2 cents, take it or leave it.

[deandai]

wowzers

[Cab0oze]

IMO it looks out of place if you just leave the rest of that plastic shield thing on there. Wonder what could be done with that to make it look more natural...

[Zeno]

will this fit the 2010 + models? might just order one

[n00bMeiSter]

That's pretty nice looking I may just get me one!
