Default dealer graphics and decals

What's up everybody. Ive recently been looking for some sort of retro decal for my 91 teal ef. I see them all the time but the ones I do see are very old from being on the car so long. Haven't been able to find anything brand new I can buy and put on myself.

This isn't exactly what I mean. But it's the closest example I can find online

So what exactly is your question? Are you asking what they look like? Are you asking where to find them?

there we no actual OEM decals like in the pic you posted.
Pic up an old brochure from 89-91 and look. Honda did not make these OEM.

basically, I get the impression you are looking for a custom aftermarket sticker or graphics like people did from 1985 to about 1990, and old rod n custom or sport compact car will give you all the crazy things people did then.

I was wondering if anyone knew where to find ones that dealers actually used. I know they didn't come from the factory with any type of graphics besides badging.

dealers didn't do this.
you are mistaken those stickers, for what people who were into IASCA shows, and show cars did, but it was not done by any dealer, it was mainly rich kids who mom and dad bought the kids a brand new car when they were 16, those wer the kids doing this, all custom, before "wraps" and "plastidipping" were the norm., back when tint and pinstriping was popular.
Autozone and JC Whitney sold this stuff, it came in something you bought off the shelf, kinda like the chrome washer squirters, and custom exhaust tips etc then you went home and installed the stuff on your day off.
-remember when gold plated badges and muffler tips were all the rush, like back in 1995. You could order an Acura with the "gold package"

Mugen made some stuff though back then.

Then people saw "Megan" brand stuff, or there was another knock off and were confused thought they were getting "Mugen" stuff.
