Mine still proudly wears its LeMans and 326 badges (despite the engine upgrade - or it will again once the paint dries next week.) In casual conversations, I'll just say it's a GTO since that's a name people are familiar with. (a lot of people have forgotten what a LeMans / Tempest, etc. is.)
I say just call it what it says on the quarter panel. It's not that big a deal - unless you're trying to sell it as "the real deal."
I remember Import guys going the other way and putting "Honda" emblems on their Acuras as early as the late '80's.
