Actually, those badges came from the Isuzu I-Mark RS

No, it came off an Isuzu. Some think they look good and compliment the Lotus heritage our cars have.

The hood badge was on the last vins mostly associated with '83 cars with flat hoods and is factory.

See other answers about the Handling by Lotus badge not being OEM. I have seen D's with that badge added just below the tall, vertical black vents on the quarter panels, one on each side, or at the rear of the front fenders, just above the rub strips. It's not common for owners to add them.

It does make finding your car at DCS a bit easier ;)

Yes Its an Isuzu badge. I purchased this for one of their cars which had been uprated by Lotus. It was not fitted to the DeLorean

I have also seen badges that people stuck on their cars that said Styling by Giorgio. That was not original to the Delorean either. It did look nice though. I just saw there is a guy that reproduces original inspection stickers now. inspectionsticker.net

No, they are out of the Lotus badges...But they have the "hood emblem", here (http://store.delorean.com/p-9592-hood-emblem.aspx).

The "Styling by Giorgio" badges can be found on the 88-91 Eagle Premiers

This is incorrect - we now have the "Handling by Lotus" emblems available. Every time we buy them, we're told that they've been discontinued, but our source always seems to round some more new ones up for us.

The hood emblems were fitted to all cars built from December 1981 forward, 82 and 83 models.

Well! Maybe that's why this latest batch isn't selling! That's been corrected and thanks for pointing that out!

I've seen those badges just about everywhere on the car, and never really liked any of the placement options. They all either mess up the lines of the car, or put the badge somewhere like the engine bay where I'm not sure it belongs anyway.

I got one from a buddy and ended up putting it here:

7128

I think it really works well. The opposite side has the VIN plate, so this adds a little symmetry, plus it's visible at a car show or if a passenger is getting in/nosing around the car.
