Holden owners don't get it, their car is not a Chev you don't see Ford owners putting stang badges on their FPVs just because we use similar engines.

I was discussing this issue with the wife yesterday as we were driving around as EVERY VE (even the local undercover VE ute) we saw had the chebby badge on.
Holden owners started doing this to be unique. If they left your original Holden badge on, that would make you unique these days.

Sadly a few weeks ago at a local car show there was two old holden utes (both humpies....) one had a massive CHEV badge on the back ... the other further up the line had a sign... "ITs a HOLDEN NOT A CHEV ya dic#kead".

It's a Chev badge, it would probably cut power by 50 HP to a Ford

Waits for the day when someone with a diesel Territory sticks Land Rover badges on it, or even when someone with a petrol Land Rover Evoque sticks Ford badges on.
