Does your HCHII have a "Hybrid" badge on the side?

Re: Does your HCHII have a "Hybrid" badge on the side?
I ordered mine from 1sthondaparts.com. They were a dollar more on that website, but shipping may have been cheaper for me. It's all relative to where you live and where the dealership that you're buying them from is. I think you ordered the right ones, because you have the same list price as me. Good luck installing them!
By the way, today on my way home, I a lady in an HCHI pulled up next to me. She saw the hybrid badge on the side and started checking out my car.
Yesterday, on my way home from Orange County, I saw a HCH w/o any emblems on it at all. This lady had also put her HOV access stickers on so low that they were half way under the car and were only visible from a certain angle. The first thing I noticed, was her missing emblems. I then checked the antenna to see if it was hybrid. I did not notice the HOV stickers until a while later. She should be proud to be saving the earth, not embarrassed!! What she's doing w/ her HOV stickers seems to be pretty illegal. I couldn't even notice them until i looked closely at the picture. Does anyone know if that's legal or not?
I took a pic:

The arrows are supposed to be pointing to the HOV stickers. The left one is... the right one is pointing underneath it. Sorry!
I bet next she'll chop off that pesky antenna and paint over the mirror turn signals!

Lots of people REMOVE their badging. That's probably all that's going on here.
Also, the yellow HOV stickers stand out and are often described as "ugly", so I bet she's just trying to minimize that factor, too. I personally don't like ANY sticker on my paint.
I'd do her a favor, though, and wash out that plate number (for her privacy).

<Grumble> I ordered my Hybrid badges last week from 1sthondaparts.com. I got the UPS package today, open it up, only to find that they sent me the Civic Nameplates, not the Hybrid Nameplates! I sent them an email through their Contact Us link so I'll hopefully hear from them tomorrow. I even sent them the link to the page with the diagram and the number of the part I originally ordered. I'm grumbling right now because I can't talk to them about it today, but hopefully they will handle this well. Crossing my fingers!

AJR:
I did the exact thing. That website has the two nameplates under the same name. They do not respond to their emails. (at least not to mine) You ordered part number 75722-SNA-A01 for $10.01. You needed to order part number 75723-SNC-A01 for 16.45 each. Call them up and ask for the parts department. Once connected to the parts department, ask for Scott. He is in charge of the website. Tell him what you did and he will arrange for you to ship them back and trade them in. You will have to pay a 20% restocking fee and the shipping fee. It is almost not worth it, but I did it anyways. This is assuming that you ordered the wrong part. If you did order the right part, and they just accidentally sent you the Civic plates (they probably had the ones I returned laying around and were eager to get rid of them), then they should do it for free. You probably have the exact emblems that I had. Although they don't respond to emails, Scott is really helpful on the phone.
Good Luck and let me know how it goes!

hmm...I ordered 2 badges from http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com the other day...I'm crossing my fingers on getting badges now
Quick question: Did they come with adhesive for the back? Or will I need a hardware store trip?

Quick question GQ... as SunGod18 asked, do the ones from 1sthonda come with adhesive on them? If not what did you use?
