I would GUESS that these are aftermarket graphics. One reason I say this is because of all the GTAs I've seen, I haven't seen the door stickers either!

The other is because the GTA's were touted by Pontiac for their monochromatic look compared to the stickers and contrasting ground effects of the T/As. I've got a bunch of road tests of GTA's (as well as a Firebird book I am not too sure of the validity of it anymore ), and I have never seen the side stickers.

I HAVE however seen the rear bumper sticker. A GTA here in town has that, and he swears its aftermarket (he bought the car a year ago).

Any other ideas??
