Do you think the builder intentionally diverged from stock/
appropriate/correct elements to make the car "more appealing"? Or
was it just convenience/ignorance that led him/her to use the wrong
badges/seats/whatever?
I wonder if he thought to himself: "the more badges the better,
people need to know what they're looking at and chrome doodads are
pretty", and maybe, "wrong seats, but I have 'em, don't feel like
hunting down the right ones, in they go"?
