Cheap e brake boot

Anyone here with a 3g notice how cheap the boot on the ebrake is? If you pull it all the way up and look at it, its held in by staples. Plus it feels like cardboard. Way to go Acura

OK thats it, I am selling mine.....

OK, maybe not..

I think this was mentioned before. I too noticed this one day while cleaning but overall most would never think anything of it. I've never spent more than $48K on a vehicle but even at that price I found similar items that one would think would have been "more significant"...

It was the topic of much discussion when the first spy shots came out thanks to a member of A-TSX.com (much of the pre-intro of the 3G TL was discussed on that site, not A-TL as the 2G people hated the 3G).

The vast majority thought the whole e-brake looked like crap and added on as an afterthought (moved from footwell as on 2G to where it is now.

If you look at it, it is not intergrated like on other cars (usually recessed into the center).

If this is your only gripe, it is certianly a small one.

Time to close this one out. I'm sure most of us were aware of this as there were several discussions on this topic. And we're living with it .......

I wasn't really complaining. I was just happened to notice this and wondered if anyone else did.
