Its hard to hide a clone in the Pontiac world, so I wouldn't worry about it so much.

For the most part yes, but there are some unscrupulous individuals out there that are being creative with swapping VIN tags and whatnot. Heck, wasn't there an ebay seller that was hawking GM style VIN tag rivets a while back?

Having the PHS is a great tool, but it's not a failsafe one.

This is my only issue with them - when people try to represent them as original cars for monetary gain.

I was watching one of those "What's my car worth?" shows a few years back, and a guy was on there with an "all-original" low-mile car. The presenter asked the owner, "How do you know those low miles are correct?" The answer was "it's all PHS certified." Huh?
