if your in a front bumper plate state, Im sure they are going to put it on as standard practice. Maybe you can cut them off at the pass.

Just tell them not to put it on. That's what I did, no problem.

The front bumper with or without a front plate will probably still have the 2 pin holes in it. At least that is what I have seen here in SC on 2 different dealer lots. See if the dealer will hook you up with a Roush or GT/CS bumper cover of the 2011. I have seen a couple posts here of guys with both.

Yeah just tell the dealer don't drill through your bumper to put their ****ty front plate on. My dealer left the front plate off of mine without me asking. Respect

I thought the factory would install it being on the window sticker and all. The dealer won't because my salesman is all over that stuff. I always make it clear to him no holes or stickers. I will check and make sure.

See I want the car and all but for the price we are paying for these things or any car for that matter lol I will get what I want on it. They would of been putting down on the paperwork that a new front bumper cover was in route or they would of had a new car sitting there till they sold it to someone else....I want it I dont need it.
