Just spitballing some ideas for potential projects in the 3d modeling and scale mianiature/model making realm, using an existing NR2003 base to test my ideas to see if they are remotely feasible. I'd say yes.

So I've had the idea in my head of a "what-if" scenario where the Cutlass Supreme wasn't replaced by the Intrigue, and continued on with its W-Body stablemates. So here is a mock-concept of a 1998-2004 Cutlass Supreme Coupe.
The idea from the get go would start with the Grand Prix body, which I would then extend the rear glass to wraparound like the previous gen. Also the car would be slightly more squared off and angular compared to the Pontiac, not unlike the Team Om3gA model used to mock this up. The large rectangular grills on the slanted nose would be callbacks to the shovelnose Olds of the 70's that were so successful in NASCAR at the time. Finally the spoiler on a finished model would be squared off like the T-Birds rather than the w-shape on the Pontiacs.
So what do you think of my concept? I feel like the model we have here fairly closely resembles what the end goal would be, with some small alterations.
