Alright I have read everyones opinion on the panels, and even added my own on a few threads. I think its time everyone make up their own mind about whether the panels are to sensitive for them or not. I happen to be able to keep my fingernails and all other dull or sharp metal objects away from my car :lol:, therefore I don't forsee a problem. If you do have sharp fingernails and or can't keep them away from your car you may want to consider cutting them or buying another vehicle. ITS NOT STEEL :x, ITS NOT SCRATCH-REPELLANT :x(best I could come up with), ITS NOT PERFECT :x, IT IS PLASTIC :!: :!: ENOUGH SAID :!: :lol: :lol: :lol: :!:

Hear hear. The whole issue has been a mountain out of a molehill. "Hmm...now let's see what happens if I take this chainsaw to them..." :twisted:

"What :!: :!: a chainsaw cut clean through the plastic :?: :?: That's CRAP I'm taking my Element back and demanding a full refund :!: :!: "

im guilty of bitching about these large plastic things on the side of my car. now that ive owned it for a little while its really no big deal. i knew about this problem when i bought it. but it didnt stop me i dont think they scratch as bad as everyone says.and dont wait till the 04s come out because i dought they are going to change them.

About those panels.......

P.S.

I think if you are either FOR or AGAINST the way Honda has designed those panels...its only an opinion.
And everyone has a right to their opinion on a public forum. Thats the thing with a public forum, sometimes you have to hear the point of view of someone you don't necessarily agree with.

I agree with you ibutch, I want everyone to voice their opinions. It's just everytime I sign on and I see 6 more threads (not postings but entirely seperate threads) about a topic we have done circles around it is the slightest bit annoying.

by the way I contacted Honda, and they will not be replacing any panels damaged by chainsaws :lol: so put your chainsaw away patedugan

You're tired of hearing about them, but you started another thread about them. Is this the Ford Dealer conspiracy again ? :lol: :lol:
