Did you take your dealership tag off?

Obviously, the dealer hate that is very apparant on these forums will never change, even when some simple logic is injected into the mix.

Wish I could say the same about mine, it was to late by the time I brought it up.

^^ dealers did it to themselves. A lot of them may be changing for the better, I have had good experiences myself. However they built up one hell of a bad rep over the years by taking advantage of people, misleading them or plain lying. Most people DREAD dealing with them in any way.

I also totally agree with those saying they will advertise the product but not the seller. I mean I love watches but I wouldn't want the name of the watch store printed under Seiko,Orient etc. on the dial.

My last dealer and sales gal were pretty darn nice so I might just keep the plate frame on and I would for sure recommend Her.

Yup.
I took off the front tag and their logo off the back... Dunno who they think they are puttin their name on my car without asking...

by the way, whats the best way to take off the "civic" emblem off the back?

Dental floss. There's a whole diy, but i just straight up used floss in 3 mins. my car was new, but others with older civics had a hard time with it, and had to use hairdryers and goo gone

well, u need to be clearer then, because everyone missed whatever point it was that u were trying to make.

U were talking about advertising brand names, and the dealer that sold that brand name.

So was I.

The point i'm making is that the dealer who is selling the car has every right to put their dealer plate frames on that car, just as the buyer has every right to take them off if they want to. The problem is, there is so much dealer hate being spewed all over these forums, that everyone blames the dealer for minor things like plate frames that can easily be removed and thrown away. And as for stickers, and the like, if people don't want them on there, then tell the dealer up-front not to put anything on the car.

[SoCal07Si]

ok...

[forvisor]

I didn't want to adverse for them, and I think the cheap plastic frame looks cheesy.

[boxout]

I took off the dealer sticker, but I still rep my dealer with their key chain.

[08civicman]

I told my dealership the day i ordered my car that they were not to put a dealer name/logo of any type on my car.


ANDD the I-vtec sticker had to go..

Stickers and decals = ugly and tasteless
