most people who think theirs isnt drilled before they take it off, are surprised... they drill it because when they dont, it flaps against the bumper from wind and creates a scratch in the shape of the bracket...

Yeah, i told them not to drill mine either and they didn't, it hasn't touched the bumper yet. No scrathes at all.

yup, no holes or drill in mine either. The first thing i did when i got the car was taking it off. Luckily all i had to do was unscrew it from the back.

Depends on the law in your state. In CA they can and do pull you over. I got pulled over last night. "License, Registration, and...........nice car."
