yes it's supposed to be EX-L, but there is no such emblem that Honda makes, unless I have to look for a non-Honda emblem....so I decided to make as EXL w/o hyphen.

It's actually two parts that I bought from my local dealer, both "EX" and "LX". If someone need the part numbers just let me know and I'll give it out. On the "LX" emblem, I took out the "X" from "L" with a box knife, and combined it with the EX. I was not satisfied with plain EX, and at first I was also not satisfied with no hyphen, but since it would be such a big pain fabricating a hyphen for such small purpose I just went w/o it. And I believe it still looks good :) !

And with my local dealers' help, I went to one of their Touring models and copied the exact gap measurements of the "touring" emblem and matched it with installing my "EXL" emblem.

Looking at it again, I see the bar holding the X onto the E.. That piece couldn't be used as the hyphen?

tried it....

Nope, I tried using that little bar connecting the letters, it's too small and too flimsy even it's on there. It's also too small to see, needs a bigger one, unless maybe I can take apart the extra "X" and use as a hyphen, but if there's no support holding them all together, it may just come off when you start cleaning between it in the future.....

Understandable... Still, looks good.. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. :D hehehe

Don't worry I won't! That's a very good point that you brought up.... I just wish honda made a darn EX-L emblem so I won't go through all of this trouble!........:rolleyes:

I removed the "ODYSSEY" and "H" emblems off the back of my Ody. I would have removed the "H" on the front, too, but it is integrated into the grille.

I figure-- after I paid $28k for one of their cars, I don't need to advertise for them. So I have no reference to the manufacturer, model, or dealership on mine, outside the H in the grille.

I have considered adding the ODYSSEY back, but scambled. the only anagram I can come up with, however, is SOY DYED, which has no personal significance. Perhaps I will add the "ODY" and leave it at that.
