All it takes is a set of..... between your legs Is not hard at all. A few bolts, a little cutting plastic and ordering some parts.

I'm right there with you on this one victor. I wanted to eventually do a manual tranny, so maybe I should start small while I don't have much money and this could be a start to that Thanks Kris!

i just dont like how they designed our e brake why is it on the foot? it'll look better and be easier if it was just the hand brake.

Because it's supposed to be really luxurious. I guess they just didn't want the hand brake hanging around the cup holder. The 99 TL-p had a hand brake, but they redesigned after that. I think...I'm not sure but I thought so. It's not a hard mod like Kris said. Just need the CL cup holder with the CL hand brake and begin the mod

the 99 didnt have a hand brake.

i think the reason they went foot brake style is because they wanted a cleaner look and there is nothing wrong with a foot brake. the set up on our cars is very easy to use (especially when your messing around)

What can I say, I tried. Maybe it was a CL interior, but I could have sworn it was a TL. No matter, it still doesn't make the mod any harder or easier.
