I think the point he was trying to make is that 99% of the time, the Type-R Hondas you see are not genuine Type-Rs, but rather regular Civics and Accords with Type-R stickers or badges, nothing else. Just like when you see Nismo Altimas, to my recollection, there was never an official Nismo version here. But people still put Nismo stickers on bcause it makes them feel special. The guy with the TT probably did the same thing, just put RS badges on a regular TT. I'veeven seen guys with the318ti (the hatchback)put M3 badges on.

The sad part is, these people doesn't realize that anyone who would CARE that it was an RS or an M or a Nismo, knows it's not, and anyone who could be fooled into thinking it was, probably doesn't care or even know what that would mean.
