I happen to use the same faceplate. Because it reads "HONDA" instead of being blank or having an aftermarket stereo brand name, I feel (and so does Tony, I think) that it is less likely a thief will break in when there may only be a cheesy factory unit installed, if anything at all.

As far as I know, there isn't an aftermarket head unit with a flip-face that displays the make of your car on the back of the face, which would make it quite obvious that there is not a flip-face head unit installed. At least in my case, and Tony's.
