Did you take your dealership tag off?

***IceWindius*** · 05-01-2008, 07:26 PM

Hey, I decided I no longer wanted to do any advertising for my dealership and so I removed it earlier today and I must say, it looks much better. Much as I like the dealership, I got sick of seeing their damn logo on my new ride. How many of you have kept or trashed it?

Day of coming home

Good riddance

I thought about it to, but then I forgot

***0720Steve*** · 05-01-2008, 07:31 PM

mine never had one

hoanger · 05-01-2008, 07:34 PM

I took it off at the dealership. When I got outside to take a look at the car, i ripped it off cause it still had that plastic backing on it.

***ThaJazz*** · 05-01-2008, 07:35 PM

I immediately flipped my chromey dealer license brackets. No way am I advertising for them for free. I eventually took them off and went with a flipped black Injen license frame.

SirStevooo · 05-01-2008, 07:36 PM

Mine too came off. Only it was a license plate frame. So it was nice and easy to take off. My Si badge and the civic badge on the back also came off at the same time. I hate how dealerships think that they should let you advertise for them it is bs.

***0720Steve*** · 05-01-2008, 07:38 PM

man that black is teh sex......almost got black, but i held out for white with navi for months......makes me wonder. nice lookin car buddy

**2fast4u2** · 05-01-2008, 07:41 PM

They never had the chance to put it on. I was at the dealership when my Si rolled off the truck. Told them no free advertising.

**dentrecords** · 05-01-2008, 07:47 PM

I hate that dealers even take the liberties of putting that on your car. Sure, if it was on the lot before you ordered it, but still.

**Yodums** · 05-01-2008, 07:48 PM

The salesman didn't put mine on. The car I traded in had them all off. He then jokingly said the license plate frame was in the trunk if I ever decided to change my mind. Free advertising FTL.

Full debadged everything on the Si FTW.

I took mine off the second day I owned the car after driving it home. It was an eyesore. I bought it from Victory Honda in Monroe, Michigan. Checked race flags (like the corvette logo) with the name between them.

I'm sorry, I just drove nine hours to get a Fiji Blue Si (back when Si's were hard to get in ANY color, let alone Fiji Blue), and paid $20,500 for the car with no add-ons. I will not be a free advertisement for your dealership, no matter how good you are.

dt07Si · 05-01-2008, 09:53 PM

I took mine off before I left the dealer with my car, haha.

***CivicEX08*** · 05-01-2008, 09:54 PM

I bought my car at Valley Honda in Naperville/Aurora and they only brand it with a license plate frame. I took the back frame off for a Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) plate and left the front one for the dealership. Looks nice.

GregNco · 05-01-2008, 09:56 PM

So many cars on the road have dealer stickers and plate frames. People dont even realize they are advertising for free.

Mac2118 · 05-01-2008, 09:59 PM

when I told them to go ahead and order mine I told them no front plate and no dealer sticker in the back. I didn't really care about the licence plate frame.. 2 screws and its off (hmm.. reminds me of my ex)

RockALittle250 · 05-01-2008, 10:10 PM

Mine has stayed on there. My father is the GM of a Honda dealership, and I've got no problem with it.
