    yeah its aftermarket.

    Personally never liked the imprint of Pontiac on the bumper.

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

    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.

    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.
