So im ordering a new SI but there's a few things that I want to clear up. First off I live in Colorado. In colorado they have the front liscense plates, however I am in the military so legally my residence is in kentucky where there is no requirement for the front liscense tag. My question is can I get it written into the sale somewhere that when they get the vehicle in the dealership wont drill holes into my new bumper to mount a tag that I wont have since I will be registering my car in KY? Also can i get them to agree to not put their gay logo on my new paint?

THose of you that work at a dealership can you clear these things up? Are they gonna give me all kinds of grief about this or will it be no problem?

 

just tell them not to put the logo on and they wont. if they do, make them remove it.

the front license plate bracket is designed to attach without drilling holes in the bumper. although some places still will. tell them not to before its too late, if they do not obey your wishes, well they are gonna replace it.

dont be afraid to TELL not ask, its YOUR car

thanks for the advice....

 

i think you can ask them. there should be no problem. all they want is the sale. they'll do almost anything just to get you to finnaly sign it. the dealership removed all my emblems/stickers

your welcome. congrats with it, you are going to love it! btw what are you getting?

 

As others mentioned, tell them you do NOT want the front plate mounted and not to put any dealer stickers/tags or pinstripes on. Youre spending a nice chunk of change on your brand new car so take control and dont let them dick you around

 

Funny story...

My friend bought a TC (yeah, I know) about a year ago and THE FIRST THING HE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP was that he didn't want any holes drilled into his front bumper for a new license plate. Then he upgraded tail lights and a few other things. He had it all installed the next day, and guess what? They drilled his front license plate in. Oh man he was pissed and I think he made them replace his bumper

why in the hell would they do that?

 

Yeah no doubt about it call them and tell them no holes if they do drill they will have to replace the bumper at there cost..Trust me I work at a dealer and I've seen it happen quit often...Good luck with the car and enjoy it.

Getting a fiji blue coupe...I cant wait to get it. I just need to sell my pos truck and all be driving in style...lol

 

I thought they had also drilled holes in my Si. Turns out the front bracket holds on without any holes.

 

The dealer drilled a hole on the top-center of the bracket, right into the damn bumper... I wish I knew this before picking up the car...

SMo'

This makes no sense at all. The plate bracket holds on fine with the two bolts or screws at the bottom. Theres no need to drill another hole.
