the 2010-11 equinox has a chevy logo in it. you might be able to get one off ebay and trip it to fit your car....not sure if that helps at all. (looking back i see you have a T/A, maybe the torrent had a pontiac dart)

be original, if nobody has done it, then you can be the first.

yeah I wonder if i can buy a new one and iron a pontiac decal or something on it..hmmm the ideas are flowing.

I think I would get a Pontiac arrow head and underneath it "driving excitement" or something.

A custom upholstery shop should be able to take your original one off the car, trace around it, and do whatever you want. Whether or not they'll know what material won't catch on fire... well... that's just the risk you'll have to take lol.
