I see you're in Georgia... if the sticker is vinyl, just park your car with the arse end facing the sun. With this heat we're having, that sticker should peel off within the hour with little residue. Car soap and water will take off what little "glue" is left. Worked on my atrocious Honda Mall of Georgia sticker.
Thanks! I'm just gonna peel it off haha

park it in the sun and let it heat up, then peel it off carefully. Anything left behind use Goo Gone as mentioned above. If you end up with any light scratches after use something like Meguiars scratch remover and buff it lightly with a hand pad.

Thanks! I just didn't wanna mess up the paint or anything haha

They transported my car from another dealership they told me they were going to put the dealer pinstripes on it I told them don’t put the pinstripes or dealer sticker on it because if you do I’ll walk away from the sale they put a dealer license plate frame on it
My car has pinstripes on it... and a little bag of 4 wheel locks came with the car. What am I gonna do with just 4 wheel locks lol

As others have said park it in the sun and it should peel easily. I'm glad my local dealership only had their butt ugly frames on it. Luckily i had to get plates later so when i got the plates the frames went in the trash can.
Is it difficult to install new plates?

Ugh, pinstripes... lol

Wheel locks? Take one lug off each wheel and screw on a wheel lock to each wheel.

btw, congrats on your new ride, be sure and post a pic. :thumbsup:

Nah, one wheel lock per wheel is typical. It's a deterrent more than anything. And yeah, gotta post a pic, man! haha

Oh that's easy. I have the time, all I need are the tools haha
technically you can do it with a screwdriver too but the ones they had on my ex and my fiancee's sport touring also had the bolt end so it was faster with the socket wrench.

Yeah i got the mats for $80 but also didn't get the trunk mat. They wanted $160 and i went on ebay with galpin honda and got it for $90 shipped. It came rolled up so i unrolled it and put it face down for 45 min on the basemetn floor then threw it in my trunk and it's been good ever since.

My dealer used some cheap sticker. It half peeled after a week I bought the car. I peeled the rest off without much of pulling.
