:) got my 2007 Alabaster Silver SC. It was between this and a S2000. But I already had another "play" car a didn't need two. I'm glad I bought the SC. It's a really nice car and good looking. No matter what people here and outside this board say : )

I'll be back with questions soon.

Welcome. That is one nice looking Element.

My GF is about ready to buy a Honda FIT, and a couple of days ago she asked me how much more an Element would cost because she is adding it to her "might buy" list.

Enjoy your SC.

Don't forget the EOC decal to recruit!
I got the chrome - over the Real Time decal like I've seen around.

The tiny dot in the "dot com" would not cooperate & I required two shots vodka, heavy duty reading glasses and the best tweezers money could buy to get it on the car !
And I have experience with number decals on buoys, moving and bobing in heat and cold!

I'm sure it was the vodka that gave you the steady hands and clearer vision.

Welcome 64cat! Nice looking SC and with manual tranny... extra nice.

Now this is how you join the site; start with a couple of photos of your E and you now have a database of friends, advice, and support. There seems to be a rash of fake newbies, but you are showing people how to gain the confidence of the site.

Welcome again 64cat.

Thanks for the comments. And no mods yet ; )

I want to add some inflatable lumber support under the seat. A friend of mine added then to his S2000 and they felt great.

What's a good air intake. I had neuspeed p-flow on my jetta.

And I want to replace the shift knob with something else. Aluminium is what i was thinking (to go with the outside)

Haven't had the SC and I'm already planning to spend money. :rolleyes:

Your SC looks great! My husband and I are still deciding between the SC and the EX. Drove both yesterday. Hopefully will have one by the end of the month!

Whether you get the SC or EX, make sure you get the ASM - they run better.

I am a new guy as well to the sc world. I am also looking for what are the best things to do to the element. My friend was telling me that I need to honk and wave to all the elements I see on the road (like the xb's do) :razz: we go at riding a lot and now that we have a toy hauler motorhome. I have sold my lifted f-250 diesel and went to the element. I have to say it rides better and the mileage is better as well. I hope to get some good ideals for my element.

Mod it!

Um - some easy ones:

Do a search for side marker turn signal

or

If you go camping (or just like to "park") do a search for curtain alternatives and build a bed frame for an inflatable full size mattress you can put in the back

or

put a rain gutter guard on the front to protect you baby

or

Just slap some stickers on to customize it

or

just do searches around on the EOC - these people trick out their E like no other - thousands of ideas at your fingertips. Pick and choose - or make your own. If you make your own, please share your ideas!
