Billboards Element...
i love getting treats in the mail.... like a little kid at christmas...

also if you didnt know handa-accessories.com is running a special
on these right now (cheapest place on the internet- with cheap shipping)...
----im waiting for them to put mudflaps on special; i fear im getting cheap...
i swear handa-accessories is gonna be the death of me- dangerous place to venture...

these are much harder to install than i was expecting- not hard; just kinda time consuming... lols... took me an hour or so...

and i had this yakima basketcase left over from my wagon... a rack is a must for me
i wish i had this when i went camping the other week...
i also have yakima board racks already- although i may need new hardware...
sorry no tripod pwns... shitty pics are shitty...

well i re-installed my navi system today...
before- there was a quarter inch gap all around that drove me nuts...

and word on the street was that they didnt make an aftermarket double-din
kit for the element; well i found one... it was the 3rd stereo store i went
to- the others looked it up on their computer and couldnt find a kit for
the element--- anyways this place called Alpine Stereo did have one in
their computer system- and had it in stock... it cost 20 dollars...
here it is. its kindof a one size fits all as in like 2002 hondas and up i think...

instructions were extremely vague- and you have to cut the brackets as
per the crappy instructions suggest... you will need a file. a razor knife,
and i used some wire cutters...

althought **** instructinos; the fit was absolutely PERFECT!!!! no moar gap..


o and a better pic of the rack

thanks mang- much appreciated...
so i went to the junkyard and got some mudflaps for 35 dollars...

i've been meaning to do all my grey plastics with this- i just havent gotten
around to it... but it works great in restoring these mudflaps... and smells
good for some reason... i will do all the plastics later...






will take better pix on another day...

i wasnt really diggen the stickers on the rear window, starting to look trashy; like those subaru-outback-owners-with-dog-and-political-stickers on their rear windows trashy....
i removed them... and started to sticker the trim piece on the rear bumper...
waaaaaay less trashy? lols... my girlfriend says "o your car is so clean- that looks like garbage"





this was my favorite snap tonight--- i took 77 pics... this is the only one i was ok with... i needed a tripod baaaaad, but i wasnt planning on taking pix- it was just a nice sunset... excuses excuses...

yesterday the gf and i got a 96 jetskit to play with... so i had to wire up the Elements to tow.... luckily the 03 and 04 Elements are already hard wired for this, and all you have to do is plug it in..... shitty part is, is that its a bitch to get to the plug...
harness...

dismantle the inside passenger side to get to the plug behind rear quarter panel...


anyways i stopped taking pix cause i was eager to finish... but once plug is
plugged in your good to go.... its actually extremely easy and probably saved
a fortune doing it myself...
go wash new toy

apply billboard productions sticks to that bish

done...

i love oem goods...
i installed a 2010 console...
a little modification needed... it sits higher (which is nice, brings drinks closer
to your hand), so i had to raise the ebrake... i used washers and new bolts to
raise the ebrake up approx an inch or so.... also i will need to mod my rear
carpet to go around the console- i need to find a upolstry shop around here
that will do that.....
anyways...


used sheet metal screw to screw into metal...

got my cooler... it is way "cooler" than i expected... its a pun...
ok...
anyways here it is...




also went to the stealership and got some of these... my plastic fender was missing 4 lil clips for some reason- they either broke off or just disapeared... anyways the plastic portion of the fender was only held on with like 2 clips... it bothered me.... got 4 for 10 dollars- worth it...

and in completely unrelated news- i got engaged...
