I actually got lucky on mine. Though the car was not new (I bought it used), the General Sales Manager of the dealership in VA I bought the car from was a car nut and appreciated cars. He gave specific instructions to his guys at the dealership not to put a license plate bracket on the front of the car and not to put a dealership sticker on it either. It's good to know that there are folks in dealerships out there that still share the same tastes as we do.
Sorry to hear about your bumper...
