BigAl205 12-09-2007, 12:16 PM Greetings to all. I got my new E a couple of weeks ago and since this is my first clique-mobile so i thought I would join the club. I think I'll call my project "The Black Box" unless I'm stepping on someone else's toes. Right now it's bone stock but mods will begin in the near future. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thnx:D Rocket Dog 12-09-2007, 12:56 PM I'm thinking your first mod would be to paint it Kiwi Metallic. :-P Alaskan_Toaster 12-09-2007, 02:07 PM I'm thinking your first mod would be to paint it Kiwi Metallic. :-P Why should he do that when TRP gets better MPG!! :D:lol::lol: Welcome to the club and congrats on the early Christmas gift. VERY glad the mod bug is alive and well in you..... :D:rolleyes: Let us know what you decide on first... :rolleyes::cool: macmedic 12-09-2007, 02:46 PM Tint the front side windows to match the rears gets my vote as mod #1 Speedy Toaster Dave 12-09-2007, 06:45 PM welcome to da cult'' paint it Kakai..ok well wheels and tires then...:D Tim Vance 12-09-2007, 09:41 PM Hello and welcome!

I like the stealth look.... just poking fun, no harm intended....:cool: Huh? :???: You mean it's not Bi-Gal? :shock: See what you're in for here? Welcome...you've even been greeted by the Founder! The Rube 12-10-2007, 06:15 AM In spite of what Rocket Dog and Alaskan Toaster say, the in color this year is SOP.:lol: Anywho, it all depends on where you wanna work on first (the inside or outside). If you search around a bit you will see mods covering every bit of the E. Personally, I started on the outside first (bra, grille, fogs, driving lights, roof rack, etc), then I went for the inside (carpets, painted dash panels, nav sys, speakers, 11" monitors, etc.) Check around and see what you think would look best on your E then go for it. BUT it is a "rule" that you post pics as soon as possible for our approval.:lol: Good luck. BigAl205 12-10-2007, 08:52 AM Sorry guys but I'm neither bi or a gal. I am big, however, and that's why I'm so impressed with the Element. I originally went from a Tahoe to a Jeep Liberty hoping to get better gas mileage...big mistake! I thought I would never get out from under that piece of technological engineering. I went to the dealership to look at the Accord but I kept banging my head trying to get in and out. I think my first mods will be to put my system back in, then tint, step rails and new shoes. As far as color, Darth Vader would look stupid in kiwi. ORANGEE 12-10-2007, 09:02 AM WELCOME BIG AL ............ Your first mod should be what is refered on this board as the Home Depot grill guard - cheap protection for the cooler located at the lower grill opening. Then..........it's on to whatever you like - dark tint, black wheels, etc. And you are right, darth would look rediculous in KIWI..........now SOP would be kickin' Jojo 12-10-2007, 09:09 AM Sorry guys but I'm neither bi or a gal. I am big, As far as color, Darth Vader would look stupid in kiwi. I had to go there! Darth Vader would look SO SEXY in a SOP!!!!!!! Welcome BIG AL! Bald Eagle 12-10-2007, 09:49 AM Speaking of Darth Vader, what happened to Empire? goosler 12-10-2007, 11:41 AM rumor has it that he became a dad & has been very busy.....Pat divestoclimb 12-10-2007, 02:43 PM rumor has it that he became a dad & has been very busy.....Pat Uh oh... If Empire were to have any offspring, they would be a threat to him :-) BigAl205 12-10-2007, 05:59 PM Is there any way to look up members in the B'ham area? Alaskan_Toaster 12-10-2007, 10:15 PM .........As far as color, Darth Vader would look stupid in kiwi. But would look pretty good with TRP accents.........:lol::lol::lol: Justinb845 12-12-2007, 01:33 AM Hey there and hi there. Your E is a good looking color.(I am a little jaded on the color choice) Grill Guard from HD or any other one is the best idea. Then I vote for fog lights. I have done like 25 things to mine so what can I tell you. stocazzo 12-12-2007, 01:54 AM Hey!! Nice lookin' car! The Home Depot grill guard is a good one to start out with as long as you can accept getting "mod fever." Don't worry the only pain you'll feel is in your wallet! Just in case you were wondering... this is basically what yours will look like with sidesteps, hood deflector, roof rack, splash guards, or an exhaust tip http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2230/2068405839_fa8eb8ef3c_m.jpghttp://farm3.static.flickr.com/2201/2068405717_2914c6a50c_m.jpghttp://farm3.static.flickr.com/2290/2069202766_0540a5a889_m.jpg As I was told not very long ago... "Welcome to the asylum!" ORANGEE 12-12-2007, 01:42 PM Is there any way to look up members in the B'ham area? YES - look here: http://www.elementownersclub.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=39 CoffeeDragon 12-19-2007, 10:42 AM Any member's first mod should ALWAYS be an EOC sticker. I can't believe it's taken 21 posts for someone to say that! | ||
