Default Who's had their front bumper drilled and then refilled?

Tonight my dad went to pick up my car at the dealership and saw they drilled holes to mount the license plate. I requested not to have this done and the dealer assured me they would not do that, so I was all set to buy a bracket. Anyway, now I'm not sure what to do. It's San Marino Blue and apparently it's the only SMB Z between Maine and North Carolina for sale (according to the dealer), otherwise I would have to order it. I don't know whether to order a new one or have the holes filled. Anyone get the holes filled? Does it look good? And does it ever need to be refilled after a while? Thanks.

If a dealer drilled holes in a bumper after I specifically asked them not to, I'd take that as a sign from God to go somewhere else... and fast!

Sorry I didn't specify that. I'm looking for a SMB Touring. White Frost or Charcoal doesn't matter. Think looking for a Touring will narrow the field down a lot?

Get some small white stickers and cover the holes...jk

This happened to me, and i requested the dealer give me a new bumper, after some heckling, they did.

Trivial defect. Shop for bumper plugs or have it filled.

That sucks dude. I would politely speak to a manager about it first and let them know how you feel. Tell them that you specified not to drill the holes and that you dont want the car with that bumper. Ask them to swap the bumper and stay firm on that decision. Dont tell them you want another car. Just tell them you wont accept the car in a condition that you specified you didnt want. Replace bumper!!!!!
