2006 Honda Element . EX-P. RT4WD. Nighthawk Black Pearl. 5-Speed Manual Transmission.


This is my Honda Element. Named 'The Black Sheep' (of the family) for being an outsider to both the Element's natural outdoor recreation crowd and the tuner world which has been driving the transformation. It has been evolving for over a year and continues to change into the final form which I hope to achieve later this summer. Comments always appreciated.

Much thanks to the EOC for aiding in the research to make this project possible.
