incorrect SS badging

Just noticed that on a friend of mine's ABM blue SS/RS, instead of the red SS badging on the back, it has red RS instead. The badging for the front is correct. It came this way from the factory.

Just curious if this has happened to anyone else?

I, personally, have never seen that happen. Did your friend not notice this when they got their car?

They should leave it like that. It will fool people.

"WOW you're RS sounds like an SS."

This could make it worth more money in, oh, 20 years or so when collectors start caring about stuff like this. Have him take pictures now, document it, and keep it with the car.

Doubtful. Rare mistakes != valuable. Need to be desirable to have value.

Oh yes, she noticed it right off. She doesn't care, especially with what she went through to find an ABM at the time.

I would make the dealer correct it. I wouldn't want someone thinking I had a V-6.
It will do nothing to add value to the car.

She could leave the RS and install the red SS and a / to make it read SS/RS.

or you could really fool them all, remove it and put "EX" on it along with a "hybrid" green logo.
