Hello Honda Element Forum!
I am the happy owner of a new-to-me 2009 Honda Element LX.
I've gotten it all cleaned up (like nearly new now!) and have floor mats and things on order.
What's puzzling me is this hole where what I think some kind of center console box with a lid should go.
I've seen reference to a cooler that can go in this spot for the EX model (don't want a cooler, just want storage), and I've found a picture online of what looks like a box with a lid that can go there for holding things.
I've also found a link (here, I believe I'm missing parts 4 and 10?) where I can get parts, and it looks like this box with a lid is going to cost me about $225 for the box and another $50 if I want the lid! I really just want a spot to put my sunglasses, tissues, sunblock, and other various and sundries.
Here's what I've got right now, my center area with a suspiciously empty looking rectangular spot:
And here it is with my home made first aid kit not quite fitting in it:
So is the $275 box actually the right thing for this spot and is it my only option if I want something to fit there? And if I do have to go this most expensive plastic box in the world route, are there parts here that I need beyond #4 and #10?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
