If you really need parking brake a lot for frequent drifts/making up professional & drift car .. aren't they mostly with stripped to bare metal interior anyway?
If car is mostly daily driven one you ocasionally try to drift for fun .. i somehow noticed that in most cases i used accelwork/clutch hits/swinging car with inertia instead of ebrake pull, hence i put spring behind button back).
I currently use the stock ebrake with a drift button. Its not the "occasional try to drift" I'll be doing my 5th event. Not looking to have a stripped down drift car just yet. I've seen a few ideas on other platforms how people integrate a hydraulic ebrake without gutting their interior, however something like the center console on a 350Z is much different than ours.

I'm okay with the fluid resivoir being visible too, just don't want to tear everything up and have it look like shit.
