Hi, newbie here, and here is the situation, I got my Fit like a week ago, today I relocated the front license plate, I found out that stupid dealer drilled a hole in my front bumper. Is there anything I can do? Would they give me a new bumper? thanks!

 

My Fit didn't have real holes but scratches because the screws were too long on the stupid Dealer plate. I'm in SC and don't have a front plate, so I took it off and sawe it looks like $hit. So I went back and had them repaint the bumper!

BTW, they make a special mount for the front where you don't have to drill visible holes...no need to drill into the bumper.

yeah the car had two screws under the bumper, but stupid dealer had to put one more which is the one went into my bumper though, I called them they said bring it out, thanks!

 

I used a license plate hole cover from an S2000. They come pre-painted from Honda part department ~$5

 

I'd be furious if that happened to me. I made sure to specify "No dealer logos, stickers or plates" in the sales contract. They did exactly that.

 

That's a great idea.. I think I'm gonna tell my sales person the same thing.


I dont even want them taking off the plastic protector film..

 

i do the same thing. i'm on my third new car and all
is well.

 

Ditto...works like a charm. It's become a standard practice for me to request that at the same time I'm requesting color & etc.

Get it in writing.

 

Shit, I forgot all about this. I live in KY, and we don't require front plates, but I bought the car in OH, which do require front plates. The car was prepped today for me to take delivery tomorrow morning, so what's done is done. I did specify that I didn't want any dealer logos, and I think they mentioned that they just put a license plate frame on the back, so hopefully they didn't do anything to the front.

 

you have a 50/50 shot
good luck
i hope it doesn't.

 

lucky bastards... your states dont require front plates?

 

LOL
i came from NJ and i though the same thing when i looked
at PA tags.

Now it's the other way around
one plate wooooooo haaaaaa

 

Mine came bone dry/stock/optionless. No plateholes, no pinstripe ;P

 

Well, I had to make a quick stop at a place just past the dealership this morning before I picked the Fit up, and we saw it sitting right outside the entrance to the building, and it had a front license plate. I began to get very angry, but when we arrived, they took it off, showing that it mounted underneath, so the holes weren't visible, so that was fine by me.
