I Love My Honda....anyone know the answer??

Ok so I bought an "I love my Honda" static cling decal for my Fit, but I was wondering if its authentic or not....its got the honda symbol on the lower corner and the guy I bought it from said that Honda had these on the cars as a promotional thing. All the others I've seen are just decals and not a static cling. Anyone know what the story is behind these decals and how to tell a fake one? Im new to all things Honda so bare with me......

Honda dealerships were giving these out to people who came in for service and/or sales about 3-4 years ago. Some dealerships have dead stock and usually techs who work there grab them to re-sell. But yea, the authentic ones have the Honda H in the corner and adhere via static cling from the inside. Difficult to find now.

There used to be an ebay seller who was selling a ton of them a few years back, I had mine in my cb7 and when I transfered it over it was difficult to get out more of the smaller bubbles, but I prefer it to a decal as it wont become scratched up from scraping windows when its cold.

the decal is actually a touch older than 3-4 years. it was given out to 96-00 civic owners when they were serviced to commemorate winning motor trend's car of the year for the 96 ek civic. yours is authentic, im lucky enough to have a few myself. i found them while cleaning up an old store room at my dealership. also dig these...... ultra rare i love my honda breath mints! i bet these are mighty stale by now :) <~~~steve
