Ojay's project is a standout but not just among fellow Element enthusiasts-it'll hold its own among most any Honda enthusiast. He took a chance with a chassis shunned by many and produced a masterpiece that's taken home trophies at Los Angeles' Nisei and Chinatown Showoff events, JDM Theory, and nearby www.nwp4life.com/Eibach events, proving that being different isn't always a bad thing. When asked what's in store for the golden box, he simply says: "Probably more custom work, since there's not much aftermarket help. I'll still daily drive it and continue to use it for more road trips, vacations, and snowboard weekends." Now that's thinking inside the box.
