Yes it was. I have three different versions of the MY 2000 Brochures (one wire bound, one stapled and one folded) and the option is in two of them. I see a silver Accord Coupe in my hometown that has a Red European Badge on the trunk lid and it is beautiful. When I spoke to the guy in the grocery store parking lot about it, that is when I realized we in the US get the cheap emblems.

To those going for this option, I suspect you will be very happy!!! Beauty is in the details!

Problem is, if anyone goes for a Euro or JDM set of badges, it is likely to get ripped off!

EU/UK MY 2002 cars now come with the same plain metal badges as the NA cars - I swapped my '01 Silverstone's badges to those from a red car and they look pretty stunning!



On the other hand though we don't get the option of the Black-Chrome badges....

I got my red H emblems as standard equipment when I bought my black VGS, but I wasn't aware of the black chrome kit. Then again, it's my fault for not finding out more on my part. I don't need the whole kit, I just need the side S2000 emblems ... Problem is, Handa Accessories doesn't seem to sell them separate. Right?

That sounds about right. But keep in mind, if you buy the entire kit you might find it easy to sell the front and back logos to someone here looking for a deal!
I would love the red logos someday but for now I'm going to get started with the black ones.

I feel your pain! It sounds like you have it worse than us.
And does that red logo ever look beautiful on the silver car!!!
It sure seems like there is a missed sales opportunity here, and there. If only Honda could do a better job with their options...

No doubt, maybe I should get a set ... Then you take the black H emblems off me?
