Default GSR badging i've never seen before



I got this shot on the way to Vegas a few weeks ago.

It was a bone stock GSR.

Discuss.

edit - yes i'm well aware its a gsr badge similar to the ones that came on 92-93 gsr's.

this one just looked like it was installed from the factory as part of a gold emblem package. i was just wondering if any of you knew the history of such things.

i doubt anyone on honda-tech bought a brand new GSR in 1993 though

The badge above the tail light is from a 92/93 GSR.

were those gold too? (i'm pretty sure they werent but i could be wrong)

i'm well aware that they were included on the 92-93 gsr's, but never saw what looked to be a factory install on a dc chassis.

Some dealerships throw them on there with a pinstripe or something to make the car look somewhat different / appealing to the prospective buyer.

Maybe the car is a sleeper, and the old dude is really some underground street racing king like vin diesel, and the badge is just a tiny hint of whats to come ?

well considering its a DB badge..it doesn't really matter. It's random and no other car was ever made that way.
