Hey guys, just bought my new 06 ex-p 2wd AT ASM from pasadena honda. I got if for 18900 before T&L, I hope I got a decent deal. I probably could've done better but I was tired of looking. What are some accessories that you guys recommend getting first. I was thinking all weather floor mats and side steps. Everyone on this forum seems really nice, so I look forward to talking with everyone.:D

Welcome!

You got a VERY good price, IMO. Congratulations.

My sig line lists my recommendations for options. If I had it to do all over again, I might not get the tailgate cabana, since I haven't used it much. One of those honest tents that connects to the back of the vehicle is probably a better way to go, and can probably be had for similar money. Outside of that, I love my OEM accessories.

Have fun and good luck with the mod bug.

I would go for the mud flaps because I noticed that without them puddles just threw water up the side of my Element every time. Also I really love my South Coast Accessories carpet kit. It makes the ride so much quieter and music warmer inside the vehicle. Other than that, welcome to the club dude!

Sounds like you got a good deal! I bought my 06' EX-P at H of P too. I did all of my haggling online before I bought mine and they had the best deal of all of the local dealers.

I've done a bunch of research looking for stuff around the 626 area so if you need any help finding goodies for the E let me know!


Take care,

626E

Sweet looking E 626, very jealous. Do you buy most of your accessories locally? Currently looking to get some OEM side steps. Where in the 626 are you, I'm in Arcadia.

You can get them from Honda locally, either pasadena or Sierra. You can also buy them online at http://www.handa-accessories.com/elementext.html

Good luck on the new E!
