alright guys i got one; finally... i hopped a shuttle bus at 5:40 in the morning, to go to Salt Lake City, UT. Got there just before 10a.m. (i hate public transportation)...
anyways here are the stats:
2004 Element Ex (or so the guy says; im not sure i know the difference yet between the EX and LX).
120,XXX on the ODO.
Automatic.
Rt4wd.
Sunroof.
Carbon Fibre Hood (sun faded pretty bad- i will see if i can bring this back to life- otherwise i will just paint it).
CD player/towhitch/dragon seat covers lols.
the only pic i have from the advertisement...
Needs to be detailed on the inside, but everything is really pretty clean. I already took it to Big-o tires and traded the chromed out rims for some brand new black steelies 16X6.5 with some meaty tires. looks much better.... moar pix tomorrow...
O- and i LOVE it....

If your previous wagons are anything to go by then this will be sweet
(not a wagon)
i had to; i realllly hate chrome for some reason... they gave me 600 dollars for them
so that was cool... i dont know if i could have sold them to some one for 600, so i
was stoked...
and thanks man; many plans i have for this element... i can barely sit still im so excited...
there are none left to buy; you have them all....
Glad you finally got your beloved E and ditched the chromies. You're going to miss the mpg though. I used to be on ElementOwnersClub.com which has some good info, parts, etc. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this thing...
me
the GF
and then i just washed the E today... presh bath
the hood... looks good when wet...
does anyone know what the purpose of that is. it drives me nuts. i mean maybe if i had an element, and it was black, i would get Carbon FIber panels, if available, but the first thing i would do is have them color matched.
anyone else feeeel me?
ps i love it with the stockies
My wife and I have loved our Element since we got it in '05.
BTW:
EX RT4WD was the only model with the rear skylight.
I'm not sure what differentiated the EX from LX in '04, but it's probably:
EX:
Alloy wheels (LX had steelies and covers std)
Premium stereo with subwoofer and XM trial - '05 also had a MP3/aux jack next to the front power outlet
Different seat pattern - not much difference
Honestly that's all I can think of really.
You will hate the mpg compared to a wagon, but the versatility and cargo room is unmatched. I can fit much more much easier in the Element.
Starting in '06 they were offered in an Ex-P package meaning painted panels.
Also in '05 they offered a darker grey, almost black plastic paneling such as I've got on my own Element:
I've got 60K on mine and the only thing that we've replaced that's not a wear item was the accessory drive tensioner pulley because the pulley was noisy.
Anyone ever see the show that use to be on the speed channel called "Tuner Transformation"?
They did an episode with an Element, where they color matched the panels on the side and also did a k20 head swap. It turned out really nice and I forget what kind of numbers they pulled on the dyno, but I remember them talking about how hard it was to paint the panels. LOL.
False... i've been badgered so much lately; it seems everyone is an
element expert, but according to Elementownersclub.com any RT4wd
element will have the rear moonroof regaurdless of trim level...
the 03-04 rt's were only offered in an EX and a DX.... LX trim level
didnt come until 2005... also with 2005 the darker grey plastic trim
was offered....
my car does not have the 5disc cd player, nor the arm rest, nor
the bungys on the back of the seat, nor the rear sub...
my element is an 04 RT4wd DX...
or so im told...
Would this fit the wagon?
What are the dimensions of the Element roof?
BTW:
The sub the Element comes with from the factory is actually in the front underneath the center radio/climate control console. It's probably a storage compartment in your Element. I also don't have a disc changer - maybe it was an '06-up thing, or accessory only? I'm not sure. Yeah I've got the bungees on the backs of my seats, armrests on both front seats, etc. but I don't know if it has more to do with trim level vs. year model.
yeah i just found that out today... the guy i work with has the sub in his element... its
so effing rad---- i wanna get one...
nice element btw... there a ton of factory mods that my Element didnt come with that
i would like to get... it'd be easy to burn another 2gs here and there...
anyone want a 5spd element 95k holla at me $7500 8)
Someone do a kicker off the front headlight?
E looks great. I have always liked them. We would have one right now if it were not for the low cargo weight capacity. Take the GVWR and subtract the curb weight, and that leaves you with 660 lbs for passengers and cargo. Not enough for the 3 of us and our 2 big dogs.
lower it 2inches.
tint front windows.
nerf bars.
roof rack.
foglights.
hunt down other oem goodies.... the usual for a hond....
made for the element specifically.. not sure if the roof of the wagon would support
the weight of 2 people... and a sunroof is require to make the mod happen... but
as always where there is a will- there is a way.... put bambam to work somebody...
where were you last week???
lols, i think so... nothing a new sticker cant handle...
I am seriously thinking I am gonna pick one of these up after the first of the year... my buddy just got one.. and I drove it over the weekend and totally dug on it..
?? are you gonna rock the steelies when you lower it.. or you gonna upgrade them down the road??
5X114.3
Sooo many wheels options
ITR, TL, TSX, RSX, HFP, and this is just OEM stockies
Aftermarket 5X114.3 wheels wow!!
have fun bill!!
Congrats!
well this spring i will probably try to lower it a lil bit and put something a lil nicer under there...
