ATOT has a totally different perspective on what rice is compared to everyone else, cuz ppl here think putting a type-r sticker on a real type-r is rice...

Your title is misleading...
What you witnessed was the dealership promoting rice, not Honda... Honda has no control whether the dealerships sell "Type-R" stickers or not...

A real Type-R has an R sticker on it from the factory. Pic

Yes. If you wanted to slap a huge Type-R emblem on your Civic Type-R even though it comes with them already on the car, I wouldn't consider that rice.
It's only when the car ISN'T what the sticker claims it is (e.g. Type-R on a Civic DX or a VTEC sticker on a non-VTEC Honda), that I would call it rice.
Actually, Honda has pretty much completely ignored the "ricers" and the enthusiasts too, Subaru/Mitsu have high performance compacts..where's honda's? They wont even bring the R over this year..
::shrug:: Honda seems to be aimed more at the lower budget end of the car buyer's market rather than the people with money to burn on a sport compact like the WRX or Evo. Not to bag on Honda or anything. I drive a 2000 Civic and it's been nothing but reliable for 3+ years, if not the most exciting or expensive car in the world. I'd definitely buy another Civic if my budget doesn't allow for me to move up to something more sporty after I pay this car off.
yes, the ITR comes with its own emblem. but if i owned an ITR, i wouldn't mind buying some genuine honda stickers just because i can.
I thought my post was clear that I was referring to non-Type-R vehicles, but perhaps I should've been more explicit.
I was referring to Civics (our Si's are pussied Type-R's that Europe/Japan get). And technically they don't sell Type-R's here - they DID, but that was 2 years ago before the death of the Integra. And 90% of the Type-R stickers you see regardless are on Civics or on Accords - there are very few Type-R stickers on Integras that I've seen. (I've seen one in my lifetime on an Integra, and countless on Civics and Accords)
yeah I agree, it's the dealerships capitalizing on selling these aftermarket upgrades and parts, not Honda itself.
Not necessarily. Some of those things may in fact be Honda authorized parts. I don't know if they are still being produced, but Honda and DC Sports had an agreement where DC sports would make billet products and they would be distributed in Honda dealerships. And Honda does sell Type-R stickers. They should sell them anyways, since it was an OEM part on a production car.
