Chozn4service's 2006 Honda Element                                                                                    Showing the power roof to a Honda factory employee who inquired how I managed to get them to install this at the East Liberty Plant prior to taking possession of it. Sorry my dear, Indy Auto Spa had the honor and gets the credit of this "Installed Like Factory Webasto" sunroof. She loved it as well as the Japanese script on the back of the Precious! Also she is the one who installs the factory airbox on the 2.4 i-VTEC engine.

It was truly an experience driving the Precious back to the birth place of the Element, East Liberty in Marysville, OH and several workers there told me if they made the Element as I have mine, they would own one if they could get it or buy as my sat before them. I also had one female worker wanting to know all about the installation, cost and function of it. She truly thought I had pulled some strings to have it done at the plant prior to dealer delivery. She was examining it in the above photo. She was shocked that it was a Webasto aftermarket roof. It looks factory in every since of form and function. Even a member of the EOC was examining it and he couldn't figure out how they removed my upper storage box, installed the existing map lights in close proximity where they were originally and yet the roof still had form and shape to it. Like I said, it looks factory and the sunroof was a big hit amongst EOC members and plant workers.

I want all the things that I was used to in my Lexus GS400, in my Element. As a good friend and mentor ( Chief aka Darth Raider) of mine said "The Precious" is in a state where if you wanted an Element with a particular package, what I have done is what you should be able to check on the option list and get.

Thanks Chief! As I've always said, there are people who inspire others and you have been one of those people for me. The Precious has come a long way since Jan. 2006 when I pulled her off of Penske's lot. Now, with 7200 miles on it, I'm at a point where I want to drive it more but also at a crossroads to let her go. If I had a son or daughter worthy I would hand her down. Again, I'm in a holding pattern and now that an alarm, remote start and the Push Button starter has been put on, the cash flow has to stop until I know for certain what garage Precious will be parked in. I know I've had fleeting thoughts of this once before and it past just as quickly as it came but this time, circumstances are different and the time frame of this action has lingered for more than just a few months now. We'll see what happens but again, thanks for the accolades. Precious will never be a Darth Raider but definitely she could be a kissin' cousin. ;-) I also have to give some love to JSM00th, Angelique,Burn, Hatch and Wasted on their insightful mods and input. Like I've said, the Element is always a work in progress being the canvas for the artist, that being us. Peace!
