hmm I didn't noticed "pontiac" letter is missing. Now I see that. Why you think it is not good idea? Everyone have problem with fake bumper?
I babied my SE too because i wasnt to into them back then...
The first winter i had my car we had a really bad winter and my whole driveway was ice and i had to go to work and when i was backing out of the driveway i slid right down the driveway sideways and the front left bottom corner of my bumper got torn completely apart because i hit a big ice bank. I went to a local bodyshop to see how much it would be to get it fixed and they quoted me $950 so i went to another one and they quoted me $700...so i said forget it, i will look for a used or a cheaper bumper somewhere else and have someone else paint it. Well i found a front bumper cover for the 2002 grand prix's and i didnt know anything about them being fake or anything so i ordered it and when i got it, it was a hard fit and it didnt have the pontiac arrowhead indentation on the front and i didnt notice that until after it was painted. so after that experience of having troubles with it fitting i will never buy anything that is not OEM. So trust me just get the OEM bumper and dont go through the hassle that i went through with a fake aftermarket.
The reason they dont put the 'PONTIAC' in the back is because everything else(design wise) is just like the OEM so in order for them to produce it they have to take something out from the original version for copyright reasons.
