could be worse
>live in state with no front plate
>some dealerships drill the front bumper to put their stupid dealership license plate on
>also dealership rear license plate frame and dealership sticker on the trunk
Owen Johnson
while buying the car just tell the salesman you want it off, the detail guys will remove it for you
Cameron Myers
>>some dealerships drill the front bumper to put their stupid dealership license plate on
You do realize most dealerships will cave and straight up give you a new bumper if you yell about that
Mason Thomas
I always hate those badges but I'm fond of a certain chain of dealerships in my area has a nice black and white metal MW logo. So everyone knows you got Cayenne exclusively at the Porsche Dealership
Asher Powell
Or they not put it on in the first place an expect every car they sell to be free advertising
Carson Taylor
What's worse for me is that I have a defunct dealership on my shitbox.
This shit should be illegal.
Austin Hill
When you buy a new car, make them put it in writing on the order that you do not want any dealership branding on the car. Inspect the car BEFORE signing when it arrives. Do not accept it and sign until they've removed any branding that was put on.
Problem solved.
Lincoln Thompson
lol mini fag
Wyatt Howard
I worked at a dealership for YEARS and I still don't understand this shit. We had license plate covers with the dealership name but that's it.
Tyler Jenkins
How to I fix this? I was thinking dremeling the raised drill marks then useing bondo?
Christopher Wright
...did you mutilate your rear bumper to install that exhaust system
Gabriel Garcia

not a shill I swear. that shits neat, but cuck-tario requires front plates.
Dominic Watson
They don't do that much here in California. I'm not going to be anyone's free advertisement for 5 years. If I was looking at a new car and it had one I would say "get it off, make sure the paint doesn't have a scratch where it was or I walk away". And I would.
Alexander Perry
It's almost exclusively GM dealers that do this
Lucas Phillips
I just caved in and made a brushed stainless steel backplate and used VHB. Obviously not going to work for you as well, but just throwing this out there if anyone cares.
Easy way to get the adhesive out without damaging the paint is to use a "Taffy disk" like this ebay.com
Obviously, you can get those for cheaper but that's the first one I could find, they use those in commercial automotive manufacturing, I've personally used those both at work and on my own and my friends' car, 100% satisfaction each time guaranteed as long as you clean the surface well beforehand.
Those disks also smell heavenly
Bentley Edwards
Nah man, VW and Kia dealerships are the worst about it.

Ryder Williams
Im honestly olay with the whole dealership advert thing as long as its strictly a rear plate cover
Oliver Hall
I saw a guy drill extra holes so he could put his license plate on the side like those JDM guys he worships.
It looked fucking ugly because you could still clearly see the holes and marking left from the center-front license plate from a good distance away, we saw it from half way across the parking lot
Ryan Morales
Get some galvanized sheet metal, some of that metal weld putty stuff, and some body filler
>cut little squares of metal, slightly larger than the holes
>apply metal weld putty onto the square
>stick it to the back of the bumper, so that some putty leaks through the holes
>sand it down to the metal from the front side, but only sand around the hole
>put bondo over the hole and metal and sand it down when dry
>respray it
Or just bitch at the dealership faggot until he gives you a new bumper
Eli Phillips
>your dealership label doesn't add 200% value to the car
Julian Long
So they are literally just color matched Christmas tree clips? You can buy those yourself and color them with touch up paint
Ian Walker
>>live in state with no front plate
that's damage enough, thanks
please stay in your irrelevant shithole and never step foot on developed land
