Exterior Plastic Panel (Cladding) Color Codes

Early Honda Element models (primarily 2003–2006 EX trim) used unpainted textured plastic cladding panels. These panels were molded in color and had their own separate codes. Later EX-P and SC models used body-color painted panels matching the primary paint code.
