I wanted to get rid of my dealer's decal for a more *CLEAN* look. The only other thing I'd look at removing is the "LX" just because I don't like where it is located. I think part of the reason I don't like it is because the car is white and it seems like the ornamentation stands out more and looks junky.

Just my .02
I can hear ya, boo---taking off a dealer's badging (one thats on the PAINT of the car rather then on the license plate frames where they usually put them) makes sense.

But sometimes this "taking off of the LX/EX/Accord" badging gets a little too ricey....the minute someone wants to make some kind of ornamentation alteration, it usually smells like cooked rice to me....something JUST to get the car noticed WITHOUT having to make expensive investments in stuff....like taking off the "Accord" or "H" symbol is going to SUDDENLY intimidate the Vette or Viper driver in the lane next to you; some of these kids actually THINK this way....that debadging their $16K import will INTIMIDATE sports car drivers into thinking the Honda next to them is gonna spank their ass in a drag race.....and please, no one tell me this isnt the case, because I have gotten out of my car at red lights and have spoken to kids who do this to their cars, and their replies are always the same: I want people to wonder what kind of car it is that Im driving......
