They all came with them.

Either someone just removed it, or the hood was repainted/replaced, or the car is not a real WS6. Good news is, there is a very easy way to tell. Look at the SPID sticker on the driver's side door jamb (it's a white sticker with lots of 3 digit RPO codes on it). Look for the code "WS6". If it's there, and the VIN number at the top of the sticker matches your car's VIN, then your car is a real WS6 and the missing decals are due to removal, or repaint/replacement of the hood at some point.

Congrats. Was probably repainted, replaced hood, or just someone took them off.

no big loss. i think it looks better without it. it's the V8 version of the Type-R sticker. you don't need that on there.

Yea, easiest way it to check the RPO codes on the driver door. And make sure the VIN matches to be safe.

It wouldn't surprise me if someone took them off. I know the corners of the R on mine started to lift up quite awhile ago.
