I am looking for real carbonfiber e-brake handles for my 91 240sx and been looking for ever and cant find any. I've seen momo ones for $80.00 for a fake carbonfiber one but Im just looking for a decent one maybe alittle cheaper than the momo one, sites would be great!

? quiznos ? no, i don't work in the food service industry. although, i must say that anybody who would replace a part that works fine as it is with a shiny, *lighter*...yeah, right...part must have the mentality of a member of the food service industry.

I was being sarcastic. lol

Reason I asked is, my boyfriend was at quiznos this evening for his dinner break when he saw someone go out to there 240 and close the hood. He ended up talking to him, telling him that his girlfriend was interested in getting a 240, and the guy referred him to this site.

wasn't me, sorry. hey on another note, I've seen two blue s13's in Tacoma, both had silvia f/e, one coupe and one f/b. both were painted in a rather, um, bright and not so cool looking shade of blue. One was driven by a chick!! major cool factor!!

no dood, not like team reaction. more like a shade that would have been cool if it was darker, or if it was a whole lot lighter, just not what it was. cool link though!

seriously tho, why do you need "real" carbon fiber. I seriously doubt that they are even made since the reason for carbon fiber is weight reduction, and you aint gonna shave any measurable weight from your e-brake handle. and if someone does make them, it's gonna be by some cheap a$$ company that also makes "real" carbon fiber windshield washer nozels.

Paint your ebrake handle bright yellow if you want flair. Theres no point in having carbon fiber stuff for something that small.

well, ok. but still, I think you'll be hard pressed to find actual carbon fiber for the reasons I stated above. I'd just stick with the fake carbon fiber if you want the look. but if you must, do a search on google. I found a website once that I don't have bookmarked unfortunately, but they sold a lot of carbon fiber stuff that was mostly for the exterior body, but maybe they have what you want too.
