: Armrests, foglights, and a military half-back

I love my Black Pearl YPackage.
My suggestions are few, but I believe - noteworthy.

Not only does the Element need a passenger side armrest, but also a longer, meatier armrest on the driver side. With the shifter where it is, the driver side armrest is too short to create the "ultimate" driving position.

Foglights would have been a nice addition to the Y Package.

Since there are obivious cues, or at least jokes, about the Hummer connection, I'd like to see a new version of the Element with a tapered back. Rather than the straight back, high rectangle look, I think a slanted back would give future Elements some real curb appeal.

Also - a built in analog compass would be a cool, "on-brand" feature.

Thanks for the kick ass vehicle!

Great idea! How about built into the door of the overhead storage hutch?

So do you think the tapered back might make it look like a Aztec?? :shock:

I thought of that as soon as I saw an Aztec yesterday... and you might be right. There should be a better way to do it than that though - the Aztec looks like crap
