Hey gang!

After about a month of searching and deciding, I just brought home my "new" 2008 Element EX 4WD, and I am really glad to find this group. I only just signed up today, but I have lurked a bit and did a good amount of research here before buying. So thanks to all for your insight into this cool little vehicle. I'm sure I will have lots of questions as time passes.

Looking for the same vehicle. Did you shop locally, nationally? Miles? Did you run a carfax or autocheck? Rust issues?

Welcome!

Warning, pretty soon you'll start making it "Your" Element.

It did not take long for me to find an OEM rear spoiler and running board set, install Hiro Hotrod swivel seats and a 2" receiver. Even found a full set of OEM rubber mats and green carpet set to match the Kiwi Green metallic color of the Element. Some of the more fun little things were installing the Pilot variable speed wiper switch and a CRV "4WD" emblem on the rear hatch (a perfect match, you'd think it was meant to be there1 from day one) and finally an easily removable Yakima JetStream roof rack. Of coarse that was after changing all the fluids and filters and fixing all the niggling little things from the rear differential dynamic balancer and wiper blades to missing plastic body panel rivets and a broken tailgate transition piece.....

You'll find out soon the endless tweaking and personalization these rigs allow......
