The dealer didn't do the prep right and they didn't mount the rear license plate at all. So they have to actually drill holes in the car to mount the plate??? Why does it come like that from factory?
I have License plate in rear window and luckily didn't get pulled over yet.
Also, if they won't do it, how do I remove the dealer's decal on the rear?
Very fun this morning, I was surrounded by Camaro's and chatted with a guy in a yellow one at a light.
So far the 2SS is already the most amazing ride I have ever owned....
I am in Broward/Dade county in South Florida.
SO EXCITED!!!

First, welcome back to the Camaro world. We've missed ya!

Second, all cars have holes for the plate on the rear bumper, it's a factory standard setup. Is it possible they may have been referring to the front bumper? About half the dealerships avoid installing the front license plate holder because most people don't want them installed. Some do it because the state requires it, etc etc.. The front plate installation DOES require drilling, and it puts holes in your front bumper. There are better ways of displaying a front plate without ruining the look of your car.
The dealer sticker can be removed with some Goo Gone and a hair dryer, or simply take it back to the dealer and ask them to remove it. I told the dealer I wouldnt leave the lot without it removed.
You are currently on a temp tag, so pretty much no one will pull you over as long as it stays visible in the window. Many places actually put them in the window so the weather doesnt ruin them/get stolen.
Last but not least...
