Avery
Meet Avery Colburn, the mastermind behind one of our most popular products, the Door E-Cubby. With a lifelong passion for flying inherited from his balloon pilot parents, Avery’s journey into the skies led him to discover the versatile world of paramotors. In 2020, he made the switch, trading in his supercharged Civic for a 2008 Element that could seamlessly accommodate his airborne adventures.
A full-time electronics installer for both automobiles and mobile homes, Avery specializes in a spectrum of enhancements. From car alarms to cutting-edge sound systems, remote starts, and power systems, including solar installations, Avery’s expertise extends across the automotive and mobile living landscapes.
Drawing on a decade of experience in 3D printing and fueled by a desire to unlock the full potential of his Element, Avery embarked on a mission. Leveraging his skills in car electronics installation, he began tinkering and crafting upgrades and modifications for his beloved E.
Avery’s ingenuity extends beyond the Door E-Cubby. He has designed and built a repertoire of custom lighting features for the Element, showcasing his commitment to enhancing every aspect of the driving experience. From transforming fog light switches to turning side markers into turn signals, creating a service light for under the hood, to adding puddle lights – Avery’s contributions elevate the Element’s functionality and aesthetics.
His dedication to innovation and meticulous craftsmanship is evident in each product he develops. Avery Colburn continues to push boundaries, offering Element DIY Designs a valuable partnership that brings cutting-edge enhancements to the Honda Element community. As he soars in the skies and navigates the roads, Avery’s passion for creating seamless and personalized driving experiences shines through in every upgrade and modification he brings to life.
Upgrade Your Element’s Look with a One-of-a-Kind 3rd Brake Light Cover
Turn heads every time you hit the brakes.
Our original line of Red Brake Light Covers is one-of-a-kind, uniquely designed and produced right here in the Element DIY workshop. Each piece starts as an in-house design — not a copy or reproduction — and is laser-cut for cleaner, sharper results that deliver the perfect blend of style, precision, and fit.
Sleek Design, Effortless Installation
The vibrant red finish and subtle carbon-fiber-style texture instantly elevate your Element’s rear end with a sporty, modern look. No drilling, wiring, or disassembly required — just slide the cover over your existing brake light lens and it snaps securely into place.
This quick, tool-free install takes minutes and makes a major impact.
Durable Protection Meets Dynamic Style
Built from high-quality, weather-resistant material, each cover enhances your Element’s look while providing an added layer of protection against debris and the elements.
The bold red tone paired with the carbon-fiber-style pattern gives your Element a clean, performance-inspired finish that’s both functional and fierce.
Show Off Your Element Pride
Created by Element owners, for Element owners, every design — from “In My Element” to our exclusive logo options — celebrates the spirit of the community. It’s a subtle but powerful way to show your love for the Element lifestyle and make your rear profile stand out from the crowd.
Optional LED Strobe Upgrade
Want to take it further? Add our optional 7443 strobe LED bulb, which flashes three quick bursts before glowing solid red. This not only adds an eye-catching touch but also boosts rear-end visibility for added safety.
