interior badge?

My '91 RS doesn't have the yellow 'RS' badge on the dash like all the other RSs I've ever seen. It has the generic 'Camaro' badge instead. I thought all RSs had the badge. What gives?

'68 Camaro - Vortec 350
'85 Camaro Z28 - 305 TPI - FOR SALE
'91 Camaro RS - 305 TBI

Here's my badge:

I've only ever seen Camaro or some variation of that depending on year and model.

The first year for the yellow RS badging was 1990. Yours has been replaced.

Wrong... only year to ever get the RS badge was a 92! Read the history of the Camaro on this site and it even mentions that... All 91s had Camaro instead of RS.

EDIT: Sorry, no Thirdgen, but www.f-body.org... http://www.f-body.org/tech/tech.htm#history3rd to be exact

"Dash badge on the RS now read `RS' rather than `CAMARO'." Direct quote!

I stand corrected. I was thinking of the yellow Z28 badging. I assumed that it was also the case for the RS. See what happens when you assume?
