I have no idea why people do things like this? Same with putting "RAM AIR" stickers on the hood, when it doesn't have it. Wow, so your car has Ram Air huh? Well, no, but driving it down the street you can't tell. I did open the scoops up so water can dump on my air cleaner, so there's that.

I chalk it up to ignorance honestly. A lot of people weren't around when these cars were new, or haven't owned enough of them to know what's what. It still baffles me that people can't even place decals in the right places, but they can plaster a red Buick air cleaner decal on their car

What he said. 100% agree. Those 400-4 stickers are like nails on a chalkboard. Also, Trans Am's that use the wrong stickers for that year. To each his/her own and I do love that aspect of the hobby, but my respect for the cars runs deeper. I guess you had to be there in the 70's. One of my fondest memories was seeing Macho T/A's driving around in Pheonix when I was a kid in 1979. They made them there and as a teenager.I saw a lot of them... Zoiks! That was the ****.back then... those Macho T/A's. I love seeing a real one. A fake one, ok? ... just make it look right.
