If the dealer just drilled holes in the divots that are already in the black plastic part of the bumper, not a big deal. They can be covered with little plastic plugs for a couple bucks and not be noticeable.
But, I have seen them run long screws through the plate and bracket and the tips from the screws gouge the bumper cover. I told the dealer that I would not buy a car with that damage done to it. Numbskulls....

Look at the pic closer. They don't do that to everyone!! They drilled his white bumper, not the black bumper piece where the plates supposed to go with the divot holes already there to be drilled.

I'd be ******* pisssed and they'd be painting my bumper.

Yeah, I think I'd demand they repair and repaint the bumper. You're right, that's just plain ignorant. Mine has a black plastic deal that the plate screws into. We don't have the option of leaving off the front plate in Cali.

They are?:confused: cool:tup:

A friend of mine had the same thing happen-dealer drilled holes etc...he ended up w a new bumper, no holes. So it IS possible...

those small holes are from the screws that went past the j-nut on the top holes of the plate. they didn't really drill the white part, i dont think. just aftermath of screw thread tip hitting it.

check the diy section on how the front plate is mounted id you'd like.

Hope so, but I haven't had a front plate since I started driving in 99 and I've never had a problem. Got pulled over once and his PC was tint and plate but let me go cause he found nothing in the car.

F@WK Dealers! :shakes head:

I hate it when you show up to the dealer in this case ANY dealer. Audi, BMW, Chevy, Dodge, etc and you see nothing but tattood up thugs in the back area about to work on your baby. **** happens all the time.

Not surprised because their has always been some sort of correlation between mechanics and low income individuals. Not saying all mechanics are low income persons. And not stating that low income persons are thugs. I was low income for a long time. Rant closed.

Once I got home, the dealer decided not to honor the "we owe". Also, the lifetime warranty on the window tint the salesman was so proud of expired at the state border, as I found out when the corner of the passenger window started peeling up. Jackasses.
Damn. I hope you have made it clear exactly what dealership it is. :ugh2:

I have, but I'm happy to put it out there again. It's Fusz Nissan.

Another Ohio member, Danegrey, got Nissan to replace his bumper after the dealer drilled holes in it. Worth a try ;)

Chuck33079 09-04-2013 05:34 PM
I bought the car a year and a half ago. It's probably way too late for that by now. Ill settle for putting my experience out there every chance I get.
