I thought for sure these would "go away" as more people called them out as "wrong" on forums and even at shows, but instead they have become more common.
The level of Pontiac purists who subscribed to the highest level of originality (#s crowd) is in decline, and its a new "hobby" now.
Its more about what the owner likes, and driver cars....nothing wrong with that....I guess, though it is a little sad to see out of respect for the history of the great Pontiac line....
All thing hobby related "trend and cycle" as new people come in...this is just an example of one of the trends that has stuck.
I personally like "custom made" call outs on driver cars, better than a wrong make/model call out.....just my opinion, and to each their own.
