they will drill holes as part of the PDI by default

if you don't want holes you tell them prior and they leave it alone.

Actually works out, cause it looks MUCH better, just don't know what I can do atm to mount it.

What have you guys done?

Its currently just sitting on my dash, I'm tempted to just zip tie it or attach it to the bottom of the grill, just don't know if that would be a good idea or not.

I'm not sure what the point is of providing such a subjective opinion on a matter such as this.

I think the tow hook mount looks fantastic (imo) and I would pick that over drilling holes in the bumper to preserve the clean look (imo) if I ever want to take it off for an occassion (imo) and give the future buyer the option (imo).

Clearly people are free to decide their own opinion on this option, and with pictures as evidence, not much additional info is needed for people to form that opinion... (imo)

**Using a term such as retarded to describe your taste in the tow hook mount is also insulting and disgustingly indefensible.

tell your dealership not to install your front plates...just use zap strps for the front plate...be patient...accessories will come out soon for the front plate


if I were you i would also get them to leave all the stickers on, not wash the car & get it detailed by someone professionaly

That is the point. Freedom of speech. If you don't understand the point of providing a subjective opinion on a matter such as this why provide a counter-opinion?

I didn't buy (nor do I drive) the car with thoughts in my mind of re-selling it. If I did I wouldn't enjoy it to the fullest as I'd always be wondering if what modifications I made or how I drove it would make the car more difficult for me to sell. I drive it to enjoy it. And quite frankly, if I had the tow hook plate I'd enjoy it less since every time I see one it turns my stomach. If that hurts your feelings I'm sorry for you.



You attempt to take the higher ground but you use it to cast stones. I wasn't arguing the mental capacity of anybody who would choose to do it since I realize beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Anyway, I see no real point in conversing with you since I've read over some of your other posts and you strike me as the type of person to walk around forums with hairspray and a lighter. Nice troll job though.

Damn I didn't know there'll be a side effect, but I'll definitely try this solution for now until like you guys said, until better stuff comes out.
