I had a smell similar to that before, lasted about 3 days & then it just disappeared. Something might have gotten stuck up under the front end & you just can't see it, I'd give it a few days to go away on its own before you possibly go pay Honda to do anything. If you DO have an aftermarket exhaust thats close to the bumper, If you smell it inside your car with the windows up it wouldn't be the exhaust melting the bumper.
