Going home from work the other day I got distracted and ran into the rear of a dodge ram with its tailgate down. Lets just say, I tested the five star front impact rating. All the safety features worked as they should. I had one very small cut on my left hand and some brusing on my shoulder from the lap belt. The major damage to the Dodge PU was the tailgate. My Element with 3995 miles on it was totaled. The battery was crunched and battery acid got into the transaxle. Now I am waiting on the insurance company so I can settle up and get another new Element.

Just bought on eBay an Injen Cold Air Intake for my 2007 Element. Can't wait to get! Does anyone else have this on there Element? |

Just got back from the Honda Garage took 3 hours for them to put on the Leather steering wheel cover and driver side armrest with storage! I couldn't believe it. They told me it would only take 1 1/2 hours. Any how I love the feel of the wheel cover. It looks really nice till you look real close at the stitching in certain spots, then it looks not as nice. The new armrest is great! It is so much bigger and can hold all my little things in the car and keeps them well organized. The only complaint about the armrest is is that it restricts access to the cupholders an e-brake. Besides that I love it! My Element's interior is starting to look a little better now.

Replying to: ragets (Nov 03, 2009 9:33 am) I swear they're better than OE. I had it on my 91 Escort, which was totalled in 1998. I actually removed it and put it on my 98 Forester. Kept that until 2007. So basically it lasted 16 years, and still looked new when I sold my Forester (the buyer liked it and wouldn't let me take it off!).

Replying to: ragets (Nov 05, 2009 5:47 pm) That's actually pretty cool. Is it custom/fitted?

Replying to: ateixeira (Nov 05, 2009 6:23 pm) This is where I bought it from: link title And since it is from Honda it is custom fitted. It is quite nice. I don't think is selling them any more for the 09-10 years. I went on there site to get you a link but it is no longer on there. |
