After hours and hours of looking for an aftermarket center console for my Honda Element - I landed on a very unexpected solution… the Ford F-150! Specifically model year 04-08, with automatic floor/center console shifter. Surprisingly very little modification was required. Watch for details, post any questions below.

I just did this! Took me less than an hour and that included putting my tools away. I used a Dremel Tool to trim off the tabs. Otherwise I followed the video which was reallt easy. Thank you Rich, you just made my (new to me) 2003 Element much more comfortable to drive. Edit: I got my console off e-bay for $200 plus $12 shipping.

@richmckie5793
@richmckie5793 3 года назад
Correct. You can see the oem console through the ebrake access hole at about 1:40. I believe all E’s came with that low console at the very least.

@richmckie5793
@richmckie5793 29 дней назад
This one was from a F150 FX4... but the key is 04-08 models with the 'floor shifter' which basically means the shifter is in the center console, not the stalk on the steering column. That is what gives you the hold to reach through for the Element e-brake.

I can’t be 100% sure. I know it works with those with the cooler console, it just sits a little further back. Unless you pull out the Honda console base, or cut out the back bottom of the Ford console so it can slide further forward on top of the cooler console base.
