Made a leather trunk pull
I got annoyed with the fact that there is no trunk pull in this car while my last three all had them. It's nice not having to grab a dirty trunk with clean hands and getting your hands dirty and scratching the paint all in one swoop; over and over and over again.
So I went with a rugged bag style handle design. I used a nice black leather to create it and chrome D rings to connect it to the tabs. The tabs are held to the trunk using a plastic dry wall anchor system going though existing holes that were previously occupied by plastic plugs that hold the liner on. If I wanted to remove it, you would never know it was there. The screws were then covered with black caps for a clean install.
Speaking of plastic plugs, I'm missing a number of them on that liner. Anyone have an idea where I can pick some up without breaking the bank?
While I was add it I adjusted the nut under the driver's seat to pick up about 3/4" of headroom which is nice. And I also reshaped and wrapped my steering wheel in leather and suede and did the same to a Porsche 996 shifter before thowing it on as well. I'll do the same to the e-brake and armrest when I update to an '03.5+ console this winter. I think the console, OEM GPS and adding an iphone connection are my next steps.
