No rocket science here, just the small things we do to make our cars "ours." Obviously, the advertising's got to go. (I got lucky this time - no decal to hair-dryer off.) |

The Element has a passenger-side blind spot big enough to hide an 18-wheeler. Small fish-eye mirrors, at $2 each, are the best safety upgrade you can make - especially when combined with correct mirror positioning. |
|
Splash Guards. I put 'em on & took 'em right off. They don't match the fenders and are made out of black licorice. Sold them on eBay. (But lots of folks like them.) |
|
Non-slip tape (Pep Boys) on doorsills - protects the sills from scratching and makes them, well, non-slippery. |
|
Not real elegant, but pipe insulation makes the "arm torture device" into an "arm rest." (And it can be removed without a trace.) |
|
Anyone who's repeatedly tried to find that elusive black aux jack hole in the shadow of the dash should invest in 2 or 3 drops of aluminum paint. |
|
$2 CD holder from Walgreens - one of the few that will fit on the Element's huge sun visors. |
|
While sitting on the tailgate one day, it dawned on me that an extension of my iPod-to-aux-jack cable would give me a pretty cool audio remote control from the back of the car. |
|
A Dashboard Hula Girl is essential. There's even one in Honda's brochure. Will probably be on their accessory list soon - at about $95. (Wouldn't want an inferior aftermarket hula girl - might void your warrantee.) |
