What are you looking to install, single or double din? If double din you already have everything you need, use the brackets from your factory HU. If single din all you need is the storage pocket from a LX http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/auto/jsp/mws/prddisplay.jsp?inputstate=5&catcgry1=Element&catcgry2=2005&catcgry3=5DR+LX+2WD&catcgry4=KA4AT&catcgry5=INSTRUMENT+PANEL+GARNISH+%28DRIVER+SIDE%2 9 number 10 Drew:)

I used a Honda kit from Best Buy. Make sure you get an antenna adapter.http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/29/29_1_1.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNxmk572MNUS)

I bought mine from fleebay and it works just fine.

Are the HU bays for the 07-08's different then prior years?

I'm glad you mentioned that. The newer OEM radios have slanted sides so you will have to get the surround garnish for an '06 model. Part# 8 at Majestic http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/auto/jsp/mws/prddisplay.jsp?inputstate=5&catcgry1=Element&catcgry2=2006&catcgry3=5DR+EX+4WD%3BABS%3BSD+A%2FB&catcgry4=KA4AT&catcgry5=INSTRUMENT+PANEL+GARNISH+%28DRIVER+SIDE%2 9

You reuse the brackets off of your stock HU. There are holes for single din and pocket and holes for double din. You will also need the wire harness adapter and and antenna adapter. You need part #10 for the storage pocket you already have # 5 and 6. werD:-?

For intrests sake the Scosche part number for '07 and '08 Elements is
HA-1702B. This will accommodate the slanted sides of the stock radio trim.
Although I prefer the use of the existing mounts as they will be more sturdy.
