My husband put this in the sc for me..

Cool. You are a matching fool!

Your husband rocks.

Nice........hasn't taken long for the modifications to start !

Yeah i had this in the car about a week or so after we bought it.. he wanted to get me the spoiler but i said i didnt think i liked it, but now i do, so im doing the foglights and spoiler next.. we were going to do the dash kit in copper but i thought that was too much orange...
i had my elementsc bout 2 1/2 mons now

Yo Daisy: Looking good! Where did your husband get those? I may be interested in them. If you get a chance take a look at my SOP and see if you think they would match the inside. It may be a bit too much, I don't know. Just open the thread, "No Words Needed" and see what you think. Good luck with your E and post more pics.

Now that you've done the shifter knob, time to get the matching steering wheel.:D Drew:)

i dunno bout the steering wheel i'll see.. i dont like to be too matchy matchy...well i got the shift knob from the website


http://www.handa-accessories.com/elementint.html


it was like 38 dollars before shipping.. for it

Rube the shift knob would look okay in there, man you do have a lot of orange though wow, its cool..

My husband put this in the sc for me..

When is he going to install the leather wheel with the stitching? :)

I like the steering wheel thats in there.. Besides I'm going to get the spoiler and fog lights.. Than thats all I want and I'm done. Not too much I need to do to a brand new slow car.

Oh, oh, I think I found my long lost twin!:-o
Looks good!

SWEET, I'll be looking for you both !
I wanna see your SC anyway

You'll be waiting about 12 years.. Oh you know what? My Father in law is moving up there to Kansas City in November and he wants us to visit.. If we make it up that way i'll def let you know and we can meet up..

Til Then

I did the same mod to my Tango Red Pearl and I colored the stiching red. Did it when the shift knob first came out and its still holding its color well. Amazing what a Sharpie can do.

Hey Daisy0405, I've been down your way on one of my annual visits to Savannah, GA. Love me some Low Country cooking and picked me up some sweet grass basket while there too. Beautiful country!

Sweet grass baskets are handmade baskets made by the Ghala (sp). The grass is native to the area and they, go through the process of turning them into beautiful baskets and other crafts. There are places selling them all over in the area. I know in Charleston they have a market that has them everywhere.

Those are pretty cool, I have never heard of them, I'll have to check them out

12 years?........why so long? bite the bullet and come now - your father in law seems to know where to move......he he
If you do come up for a visit let me know, we'll get together

Its a dying art form. The elders are trying to pass it on to the younger generation but you know how children can be. Some are learning the art and therefore making it a living by creating these baskets. I personally have two. One is a like a serving tray while the other is a nice 9x12 basket. If I ever get back to the area, I'll be pickin up some more for sure.

Since you're in Beaufort, you should make your way over to Savannah, GA and visit Lady and Son's. Its a great place to eat. Hang out on River street and go to Tybee Island and check things out. If I could pack up right now and move to anyplace in the US, Savannah would be my first pick place, followed by San Diego, then La Jolla, then Hilton Head.

Do they have a shifter for Manual transmission with orange stitching?

Not orange stiching but an orange stripe.
Click the link below to see what I'm talking about.

They also have a leather shift knob on the same link page thats shown on a Civic and it has red stitch. It will fit the Element.

Chozn...That's actually a brilliant idea, now I can buy the leather SC knob and dye the stitching.

Thanks,

Chief

Thanks babylac89! I don't know about being brilliant but it worked for me. I knew if I didn't like the end result I could go ahead and make the stitching black, no big deal. I also referred someone that had another color Element that they could probably take some bleach and use a dropper to bleach out the stitching that it comes with, then put a little water on it to stop the process, dry it and then take a Sharpie in the color they want and go over the stitches a couple of times and it'll be a done deal. Since the stitching isn't waxed like the steering wheel cover, it should take, no problem.

Thanks so much for the link, I like the striped one too. I just ordered it and a key chain. Got to take it slow, everyone is worried about me for buying an orange E.......

Thankfully I just want to dye it black, so the process is going to be a lot easier. It has to be a brilliant idea, because it's been there right in front of us for the past year, and it's the first post I've seen on the idea. So for me, thanks again!

Chief

No problem. I'm always looking at ways of changing thinks to makeit work for my TRP. The shifter had a nice look but the color did nothing for mine so the change was a must. Glad you like the idea and I know it'll work for you. Show some pics once you get it done.

Nothing says sporting like feeling the fine leather grip of the slushbox's computerized selector level!

8) Looks good!

If the E had been available with a normal column shifter and didn't have the big subwoofer box in the middle, I'd have settled for an automatic. If I'm going to bash my right knee on an bulky console with an intrusive level jutting out of it, I may as well have the manual shifting fun to go with it, right?

Chozn4service....oh Yeah That Is Paula Deens Place Huh? My Friend Had Always Wanted To Go There.. U Know I May Just Ask My Husband To Take Me There This Weekend.i Love Savannah..

Is It Good Food?

I Have Been To La Jolla California.. Its Was Beautiful.. I Never Heard Anyone Else Talk About It..

Paula Deans place is the place for good food! I go there every year and had dinner there on Thanksgiving two years ago. Great food! I have one of her cook books as well. She's located on congress street there in Savannah.

La Jolla is nice! I've been there probably around 5 or 6 times. I took the wife there three years ago and we stayed at the Scripps Inn which is beach front. No AC but its nice to have the windows open and hear the rush of the ocean during the night when things get quiet and still. The seals sun bathing on the beach and rocks. They let you get right up on them and have no fear of getting away from you. La Jolla. Its a rich town but I could live and die there as long as I had a beach front property and my honey, my Element and our two yorkies.

Nothing says sporting, like the fine leather grip of a 2006 4WD EX-P MT on it's way, totally, and completely, out of the State of California!
