Default Window sticker

Unfortunately one of my cars didn’t come with the original. Has anyone had any experience with this company?

Interesting - that sample sticker certainly does look correct to the original, which is shown in Photo 56 of this BaT auction.

Here is another one. Sounds like if you know what dealer it came from new is the biggest thing. Here is another one for a CR. I like what I’m seeing I know it’s not original but looks like the next best thing.

I just had to have a hood replaced on a pretty new car. (Ice fell from a tree and dented it beyond repair while parked) A company brought in by the repair shop duplicated all the original stickers underneath. Looks perfect. I bet this is similar to the window sticker.

A lot of money for something that adds no provenance.

From a very cursory glance it appears you can make this "sticker" read whatever you want in certain areas. Want the "selling dealer" to be Big Chuck's Honda in Saint Pierre and Miquelon, France (not quite in Canada ) or other exotic place? Just fill that in on the form.

Over $100 for a sticker seems ridiculous to me, unless you're looking for art.

Fwiw you can re-order Monroney labels for much cheaper - $8:

Well you can go for the cheapest available but you might end up with something like this:



That's the claimed "original window sticker" included with CR #534 (i.e. '08 VIN #1456), which is currently for sale here: https://wallstmotorsport.com/product...onda-s2000-cr/

What's wrong with it? A few things. First, at bottom center, the original dealer isn't identified, and the Ship # is blank. (Row/Space was usually blank, so that's fine.) But at bottom left, the "Environmental Performance" block didn't get its greed-bordered re-format until about Jan. '09, almost a year AFTER this car would have gone on sale. Prior to that, the emissions block was located at the bottom right of the page, and was strictly black-and-white.

Here's what an '08 window sticker should look like (from BaT):

My window sticker looks nothing like that. Mine looks plain compared to it. From 1999 though.

^Yours should look like mine - the most obvious difference being they were "portrait" orientation back then.



Honda went to "landscape" Monroney stickers sometime around Aug 2005. In terms of S2000 production, it happened somewhere in the 7000's of the '05 model year:

Gotta love the "added markup" and overpriced fluff accessories on that first sticker. $400 for the "aero screen" and $300 for "supercare" paint. Plus $10,000 just 'cuz.
