titanium shift knob and leather e-brake handle?
My e-brake handle has started peeling. Thanks to you all I know that the dealer will replace it with a black leather one under warranty. They will have that part ready when I go in for Inspection I next week. My shift knob has not started peeling yet and I haven't asked to have it replaced as well, but know that it probably will need to be replaced at some time.

Any thoughts on whether it would look funny to have a black e-brake handle and still have the titanium shift knob? Or should I just push to have that replaced as well?

What I did was ask to keep the old brake and shift knob so that I can someday get it refinished. I have not figured out how to do it yet. Hopefully someone on the board will figure out how to refinish the metal ones.

I also kept both of mine and replaced them with the leather versions. Your cal will look fine with only one replaced. The console will still be the chrome look. The emergency brake handle is not expensive but is a little difficult to replace. Some of the screws are hard to get to. The shift knob is easy to replace.
