CR-V Flip-Up Console Mod (Honda Element Storage Upgrade)
Add smart, hidden storage to your Honda Element using this clever OEM-based upgrade.
This mod uses a flip-up center console from a 2nd generation Honda CR-V and adapts it for use inside the Element—creating a convenient storage spot that locks into place and folds down when not in use. Whether you're camping, overlanding, or just organizing daily gear, this is one of those simple upgrades that makes a big difference.
Originally discovered by a member of the Element community, this is a perfect example of how the right part + the right idea = something awesome.
