Re: Accessory Grill Install

As part of Honda's "Safety for Everyone" campaign they are not limiting that to persons inside the vehicle. It is true that Honda developed a "pedestrian dummy" to run crash tests. I know the Ridgeline and Accord have features designed into them to "cradle" a pedestrian as opposed to smacking and tossing them. The bumper and hood designs are an itegral part of this. I was also thinking that is why they have placed the windshield wipers below the hood. This could also be for wind noise, aerodynamics, aesthics, etc. Either way I love the clean look of not seeing wiper blades or washer nozzles and think the safety for everyone campaign is great!!

Regarding what you have just read from nevadagarth: These are just my two cents are are in no way meant to offend or represent expertise in any area. This is just my experience and/or observations and the information previously stated makes sense to me.
