Pin Stripe Removal

[Richard_rsp]

I actually wouldnt buy a car if a dealer put dark tint on it. It's up to them at that point if they want to sell a car or lose a sale.

There is a series of dealerships down in Florida that put pinstripes, CHROME wheel-arch and CHROME door trim on ALL of their cars and charge $1,200 for "appearance package". Needless to say, that is not my style and I walked away from that dealership...

However, on the opposite end of the spectrum: My wife and I bought our Mazdas from Tom Bush in Jacksonville and they didnt even so much as put a logo on either car.... only a tag surround! MUCH APPRECIATED, as those dealer logos are one of the first things I remove!

That's pretty classless by that Florida dealer to say the least... I'm with you on dealer logos... first thing i did was take off the dealer logo before i even left the dealer lot. They had obviously just put it on so it was easy to take off. haha

My Mazda 2 never came with pin stripes Iw as actually thinking about pin stripping my car with two red line along the side to match my Red/black theme

You wanna hear some real BS? There used to be a Dodge dealership here in MD that would put their logo decal on the back of your vehicle... but if you look at your invoice at purchase (which sadly a LOT of people don't) they were actually charging a $200 "advertising fee."

You read that right... they were putting their logo on your car... and charging you for "advertising"... as if to say, "if you wanna drive around with our trademarked logo on your car, you're gonna have to pay us royalties."

Total BS.
