My take is slightly different.

1. Drilling the holes: this is the worst violation. I don't even know what they can do to compensate for this, waive doc fee, free upgrade or something but this is the one thing that I wouldn't take. My dealer explicitly states they don't drill holes on cars, ever, FRS or xA.

2. Applying film: since they give you this for free, I'll take it, assuming it's factory upgrade which is 3M thin bra (correct me if I'm wrong). This film can run $500 even with third party so I don't mind if they do honestly.

3. Letting it sit on the show room floor: I personally don't mind this if it's under staff supervision. Considering most pp that track this car down and go to see it are enthusiasts, I don't mind passing the love around since Scion gave me such sweet 86 treatment so I can become their walking breathing advertising advocate. Obviously, you have to check to see if some moron key your car. My car was on display for a day and a half with my knowledge and with a big sign that says "Sold to [my name]"

4. I wouldn't leave the car there any longer since they may have had hard feelings toward you after you called Corporate. I offer to leave my car at the dealer because again, I want to do my part in making this car popular because I feel grateful for the 86 treatment but my dealer turned me down because he said he couldn't replace it if something were to happen to it. I took it home the same day.

All and all, if they are really rude to me, I may demand them replacing the bumber when the part is available but I doubt they would budge. Get some discount fee or upgrade and get out of there. I weep a little inside thinking about how the car felt when being drilled. Them morons.
