Yes it's a sin and it lowers horsepower! He can heat it up with a hair dryer and it'll come right off!

I hear you can laser those off now...shouldn't be a prob!!

btw, what dealer is still using rivets, are these guys crazy...man that's gotta look super cool when it's all rusting out from the holes on non plastic cars...I wouldn't take the car off the lot if I saw that...

Damn a-holes - wish I had noticed before purchasing..... Due to other blemishes, she'll get a full a$$ lift later, but for now you can't really notice until you're on top of it. You guys coming out on 4/2 can see and truely see dealership stupidity in the flesh.

And no, that was not an accident that the dealers name is clearly shown.

Dave, seen any good rice lately?

I told the Dealer I bought mine from that I charge $2 a square inch for advertising space. They removed both the license plate frame and the name plate before I took it home.

My dad ordered his vette from the same dealership. In the 10 minutes it was on the lot before he got there they managed to do the same thing. He didn't notice it, I removed it as soon as I saw it.

CUlookin, where you go to school, MASON?

My dealer did the same thing. When I bought the Vette, I told him not to put it on. When I went to pick it up, there it was. I had them remove it before I took possession.
