Hey Mindy! I wish there was a way to adapt it to fit but, Rhino-Rack doesn't have a way to install their roof racks on the 2008 Honda Element. The only option would be to sell the roof rack on your Prius and get a new one like the Yakima SkyLine Roof Rack # Y87KB.
It is worth noting that even if there were Rhino-Rack legs that would fit the 46" bars you have now would likely be too short. This Yakima rack uses 60" crossbars. Also, you will notice a significant reduction in noise with the JetStream bars over the Vortex bars so there are some advantages to upgrading.

Hey Mindy, how did things go with the Yakima SkyLine roof rack for your Honda Element? Did the JetStream bars give you the quieter ride you were hoping for? Your update could make it easier for the next person looking to switch racks between vehicles.
