One thing I am salty about is the dealer had a license plate frame on the car before I purchased it which wasn't a huge deal. I purchased these color matched plugs for the bumper. I pull the plate off and there is another pair of holes behind the plate that a blind man must have lined up :picard: I will need to have the front bumper addressed at some point. Otherwise the car is AWESOME! The creature comforts are sick and the sound system in the car is done right.

Are you sure it's not just factory drilled holes for varying plate styles where the car may be outside the U.S.?

The GTO is like this, as is the Cadillac.

Or does it look like a three year old just randomly went to town with a drill?

The bumpers come with dimples for where you are suppose to drill. That was a big issue when delivering these cars if they wanted the front plate mounted. My guess is when they traded it in some porter gave NFs at dealer and just drilled that cheap plastic mount on your HC while snap chatting to his buddies

Nice Jim congrats. ditch that tail stripe. Looks too much like a scat pack. Also I would pull off the mud flaps. You dont need them. Aside from that, I feel you on the bumper holes. You will need a new bumper cover. They are cheap online even from mopar.

Im honestly surprised you didnt get the A8 actually. The A8 really makes these cars. But the manual will be fun with all that power. Congrats again.

Yeah. They are mud flaps. Mopar calls them splash guards. I thought those really prevent rock chips and other shit from the road.

Na the tires arent wide enough to stick out, plus all the lower parts of the car are plastic like behind the rear wheels and along the bottom of the doors. The front bumper will get sand blasted by stones and grit, and that could use a clear bra. But other than that, the car stands up to the road pretty good. I loved mine.
