Swap a cracked or faded original for a genuine Mazda leather handbrake lever. Red stitching ties the cabin together.
$440
This RX8 red stitch handbrake lever is a genuine Mazda OEM part, leather-wrapped and stitched to factory specification. It replaces a worn original with a new, known-condition component across every Series 1 and Series 2 model from 2003 to 2012. The red accent stitching restores the look and feel of a fresh factory cabin while connecting the handbrake to a coordinated interior build.
For RX8 enthusiasts, the difference is felt every time you reach for the lever. A tired original loses surface texture and the leather splits at the edges. This RX8 red stitch handbrake replacement restores firm grip and a clean accent that reads as deliberate rather than retrofitted.
The red stitching pairs naturally with the GENUINE MAZDA OEM Leather Gear Shifter Boot Surround and the AUTOEXE Nappa Leather Gearknob (Round Shape, Red Stitch) to carry the same accent across the full centre console. Together, these three pieces give the console a matched, considered finish rather than a piecemeal collection. Visit Mazda Australia for manufacturer information on genuine parts.

Being a new genuine Mazda part, the leather wrapping starts in factory condition with no existing cracking, surface loss, or edge degradation. Proper care will keep it in that condition significantly longer than a worn original that has already begun to deteriorate.
Yes. As a genuine Mazda OEM component, the red stitching is produced to the same factory specification used across Mazda's red-stitch interior trim, so it integrates cleanly with other genuine or matching aftermarket pieces rather than reading as an afterthought.
