Fake 3.2 TL TYPE-S?

So im thinking of purchasing this Acura but it caught my eye that the engine cover on the car doesn't have the red lettering like my type-s does did they also come this way? Thanks.

The type s engine cover doesn't say "type-S". The sure way to tell it's a type-s is the interior details and/or the wheels.
