I used to be a car salesman here in the Los Angeles area--> Lakers=#1, anways, yeah, dealerships in S. Cali do not put those stupid, indelible, "this person bought it from here" stickers on their new cars. That is so wack.

I'd go back to the dealership, talk to those in the chain of command starting from the bottom: salesman-->his/her closer-->deskman i.e. salesmanager-->general sales manager-->general manager

If your dealership is a reputable one, then you shouldn't have to go any futher than the salesman. He'll most likely work something out for you via the dealership's body shop. And it should be free. Just explain tactfully, but without sounding defensive or blaming, that you didn't want the dealership mark, and you did what you did. Be honest and they'll most likely fix it for you free because they'll want you to spread word that the dealership is good to its customers, and this good word of mouth will bring more business, and the likes. Peace out.
That's a good move. I would leave the dealership's license plate frames on when you take it to them so it looks like you are still willing to do some advertising for them.

I absolutely hate the dealership putting stickers on their cars. The only car I like it on is Cadillac, because they match the Cadilllac script and it is sort of a tradition from the 1950s, when buying a Cadillac was a big deal and the dealers were much more prestegious.

This is exactly what I requested from Lou when I purchased at Fusz Nissan. When I picked the car up for delivery, it was late and I had forgotten to check. But Lou made a point to bring it to my attention that they indeed ensured no sticker on the car.

I think any sales team should recognize that this is an enthusiast's car, and small details such as this are important.

Even after taking delivery, I would return to the dealership and request it removed. I would not try it myself.
