New Ride

[bachviet]

Sold my 2000 Accord EX V6 and got a 2006 Odyssey EX.

My first mod will be a lower grille to protect the AC condenser and lines. The second mod will be the rear entertainment system for the baby.

great idea for the grill mod... where/how did you do that?

A lifesaver in every sense of the word.

On long trips, these things are worth their weight in gold. Our little guys love them; the only problem is getting them to agree on what to watch. :)

Congrats, looks good. Nice choice, too.

I bought the aluminum gutter guard from Home Depot. Then I cut it to the right length but since I put it behind the original grille, I don't have to match the profile of the grille. Then I installed it using zip tie.

[blueindian]

something about modding a van strikes me as funny. you gotta get rid of that norm reeves tag!

No but I can't find the Honda Pilot in the trim and color that I like so I went for the Odyssey. It's much easier to open/close the rear doors without worry about hitting other cars. It's also easier to load/unload the baby.

I was thinking

Odyssey Type R Badges.
