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......

To each their own...it looks good on some cars, like on the 03 the back end looks so much cleaner without anything. I keep mine on to show off that pretty looking "V6" logo...hehe
