I looked at 2 used s2k's one an 01 and one an 02 and neither one had the s2000 badges on the front quarter panels. I was under the impression these came on the s2k from the factory. did anyone here get there car delivered new w/o them? TIA

People remove those and replace the "H" badges with "S" badges to be "different". The S does come with the S2000 on the fenders.

Or they could have been stolen (unlikely but not hard to do)
Or both cars were in accidents and the bodyshop forgot to put them back on

Or you take them off the fenders. It is easier to wash/wax with out them on. And give the car a cleaner look. That is why I did it.
