why is my bumper different

[ham4864]

i see most peoples bumper says Pontiac on the left front why not mines.i can't even up load a image and i am 100% sure im doing it correct.

 

[matt5112]

its not a GM bumper. its aftermarket.

 

[ham4864]

man i didn't want to hear the bad news.

 

[MrPoopyButthole]

yeah its aftermarket.

Personally never liked the imprint of Pontiac on the bumper.

 

[boosting98]

what they said^. the 97-03 guys w/ aftermarket bumpers have no arrowhead indention for the badge.

And the rear ones aren't embossed with Pontiac either...idk if I'd dig it or not.

 

[rynoman03]

I don't care about the front bumper much but the rear not having PONTIAC is weird.

 

[SeanGTP]

Yeah, its kind stupid. Legality issues. This one guy was making awesome rear bumpers for 97-03, then he found out he couldn't sell them because it had the pontiac embossed in it.

 

[matt5112]

why couldnt you buy ones from wreckers, mod 'em then sell 'em?

Its not like you created your own product with that copyrighted material?

You just bought something, modified it and sold it.

 

[SeanGTP]

Dunno, he was just given reason to stock. I can't find the thread on it though...

 

[SeanGTP]

Nevermind, I found it.
