Zero cost license plate frame mod

After telling the dealer, I would not buy the car, if it had any advertising decals etc. on it, they still put the license plate frame on it, with their name, etc.
I flipped it over, and it's a nice, clean improvement.
I see pictures of highly modded Fits, and some are still advertising for the dealer!

Huh. That's a nice clean way to have a border on the plate without obscuring it. I like it.
I totally agree about the dealer advertising bit. I just paid you $$$ thousand, I'm not giving you any free advertising. All mine were gone within the hour - front dummy plate, sticker on the hatch (on the paint ), rear license frame.

I've always thought I would do the same thing, but when I bought my Fit, there wasn't anything permanently attached (the dealer sticker was rubber and easily peeled off). If I planned to buy from a dealer that did etched vinyl, I'd definitely refuse to take the car until that was gone.

That said we're talking about the difference between 1:1,000,000 and 5:1,000,000 in terms of the odds of it happening. As long as you use all four bolts, you should be fine. (Which is why I ended up putting my FitFreak frame on the *front* instead of the back, because on the back, closing the hatch would cause the plate to bounce a lot.)

Who looks at dealer frames anyway?
I once took my car in for service, and the idiots tossed my Disney frames and replaced it with their company frames! As soon as I noticed it, I went right back, and found my $20 frames in their garbage. I was so pissed!

Did you force them to replace the frames back?

So, they actually stole (as in a crime) your frames! It would be interesting to see what a lawyer had to say about that.

"How much was that frame? $10? You know I charge $400 an hour, right?"
