Take your car back to the dealer and ask them to remove it if you're reluctant to. Don't call them and ask them. If they're DB's, they might just blow you off over the phone. Just drive on by. In-person usually yields more satisfying results.

It is NOT an insult to ask the dealer to remove their dealership logo. I've done it with every car I've ever purchased. I don't want the public knowing where I do my high dollar business nor do I want to do "free advertising" for the dealer, plus, a dealer logo on the back looks just plain "amateurish".

They are putting them on the rear window at my dealership. i had already thought of telling them not to put one on when mine arrives, but this seems to be better than on the paint. Easy to razorblade off of window.

Even though I told my dealer I don't want a front plate mounted and no dealer sticker, I'm a bit concerned about the sticker.

I have the same plan. Essentially the sticker is to advertise. If a dealership thinks they can put their ads on property that doesn't belong to them without a price, they're wrong. I'd keep it on for 5 grand per year. If they don't like it they can take it off.

Wow that upset over a little sticker that comes off honestly nothing to get upset over if you order your car just ask them not to put it on if you pick a car off the lot 99.9% of the cars have them like I said just get over it no big deal just peel it off if it's a badge use fishing line to remove it.

I would give the dealer a hard time if I asked them not to put it on and then they did. But if it was on before you bought it, just take it off.

First of all its your car if you don't want it on there take it off. They usually peel off easily but may leave a little glue residue. A little Goo Gone and it takes it right off.
I got done peeling off my dealers label on my 2012. Not only was it huge it was crooked!

Lots of good suggestions here about taking it off.

Funny story: a few years back I ordered a new pickup and left explicit instructions for them NOT to put that silly badging on it and if they did, I'd be unhappy. I go to pick it up, surprise there it is. I asked them to remove it and was told they couldn't. After about 30 minutes of discussing why they couldn't, I got back in my truck and drove away.

Lots of phone calls from the salesman and sales manager over the next few days. When the general manager called about 5 days later, I answered and told him what happened. He said he'd have them remove the sticker at once. I informed him they could do with that sticker what they wanted and it was of no concern to me as I had already traded at another dealer.

It's your car. Who cares if they are insulted.

I got my Camaro (Monster) the day it came off the truck... no stickers, no front plate (even though I signed something that says they installed it, required in Cali).

As mentioned... bumper stickers and dealer stickers usually come off easy with a heat gun or blow dryer. And goof off is good residue remover.

One additional tid-bit... If you have to stick something on your car... do it on a window, much less painful to see.

Use a hair dryer, some dental floss, and some goo-gone... You should be just fine.

What do you guys do with your front license plate if you don't have them installed. (this is for people in states that it's required by law)

Funny you should ask. just picked up my Camaro yesterday and gave them explicit instruction not to mount the bracket. Since I knew they would screw it to the bumper. They did as I asked. I used 10 inch tie wraps through the lower grill on my 1st Camaro. They work great.
