Ebrake handle options

Ok here it is:

I just got my titanium trim from PhillyM5 (Thanks again bud). I am ordering a plain black shift knob from leatherz to replace my wooden one. I am left with one piece of wood left, the cover on the ebrake. I have looked though realoem.com and cannot find a titanium cover or a plain black one. any suggestions on what I can do to finish up my trim would be great.

On a side note, I was looking at the "matte chrome" and black leather knob from leatherz. Do you guys think that color combo will clash with the OEM titanium trim (read: the two color metals clashing)? I am probally just going to stick with an all black knob just to be safe but am open to opinions!

Thanks in advance, you guys are always great for opinions on things like this!

-Ryan

I bought a matte chrome handle from BMW for ~$70. It is not as thick as the stock plastic one and matches the aluminum trim.

I think it looks nice.

Look at my gallery pics, I too bought the matt chrome for about $60 from Circle BMW. Matches well as you can see.
