Dealer drilled holes in bumped- MAD
Hey, i just took off my front plate for the first time and saw they drilled holes into my bumper In-addition to the bottom ones that would have just been fine. I have heard stories of members demanding ne bumpers when rasing hell. What do you guys think; IdeaS?? Also if the dealer won't fix it, what can i do to make it look better in an inexpensive way. Plugs or screws i can put in. Thanks

Go to them, STERN, and demand that they replace the bumper with a new, NOT REFURBISHED one.

It all depends what state you are in.
They might of drilled two "extra" holes on your bumper for a good secured license plate bracket. Most dealers do not drill the "extra"
holes, due to the fact the customer will soon find out there are
holes on their bumpers and will get :angry:
So there was no real reason for those extra holes!

WOA WOA WOA Where does it say that the front licence plate needs to be bolted to the front bumper?
If I were in a predicament where I needed to move to a state that required my car to have a front licence plate, I sure a hell would not drill holes in my bumper. There is a reason why there is adhesive. Or u could just duct-tape the thing to the front bumper.

Because some dealers don't know the bumper is already set up to accept the front license plate holder that is found in the spare tire compartment?

UPDATE
UPDATE, hey guys so i called and talked to the service manager. He was nice but pretty much told me that he didn't beleive THEY would drill holes in a 30K car and said that they suspect i might have done it myself. Oh am i mad. But he agreed to let the GM take a look at my car tommorw and make the final call. If that doesn't work out i'm gonna whip out my phone and call Acura Customer Service in their face. DOES anyone have thie number to ACura Customer Service. I want to be polite about it but since they accused me of doing it, i'm ticked. I'm also gonna check if my friend with an RSX-S from the dealer had the holes driller if so, then their whole arguement about never drilling holes i full of b.s. Also i'm kind of young, i hope they will take me seriously. Any other ideas. THanks for the support
