Do the dealers drill the holes as part of dealer prep?

Yes. I bought my car in SC but had to have a dealership here in VA drill the bumper and install a plate bracket.

So if you buy the car out of state before they do dealer prep, but make sure they don't drill the extra holes, then maybe that would be OK.

Exactly I told the NY dealer I purchased from that the car will not have holes in the front bumper or I would refuse delivery.

I told my salesman when I got there to put a big sign to not prep the car. They didn't even wash it. Left a lot of the plastic on the interior.

Drove it straight to my buddy who detailed it and put the clear bra on.
