Ok I finally got my car!! Dealership called me and said I could come pick it up tonight or in the morning.... so off I went. Process was pretty painless, but did take a couple hours. I also was able to get the Ford options APR and rebate from January, which was waaaay better then today's rates...
Last I heard from the dealer (Saturday), was that its still in the shop. I am for sure gonna inspect the shit outta the car before it leaves the lot. Not only paint and additional transport damage, but also check if the body shop crushed the battery rails under the car.
I'm in the same boat, as my MME just arrived and the dealership is replacing the front bumper because of transport damage.
Since the car is still theirs at this point and they are taking full responsibility for repairs, you shouldn't expect any discounts unless they like giving away money...
I have the best luck. I'll probably get hit by a run away train somehow before I finish typing this post.
Yesterday I got a (late) email from Ford saying they moved my dates back to 08/13-08/19 which I already knew. However I logged in minutes later after the email and it showed 08/20/ - 08/26...
I don't have my MME yet, but does anyone think something like these will fit. Not sure if they are too wide for the area.

There are a few places online that actually do custom badging for cars in different materials (ie: metal, plastic, some sort of puff vinyl stickers). I got some done for my Camaro SS a while back. I don't remember the prices, but they are fairly cheap.
Unfortunately you can't transfer your order to another person. However even if the dealer acknowledges you as the new buyer, it would be up to them if they will then charge ADM. Most dealers will charge ADM for lot cars, even if they honor MSRP for direct orders.
Today of course being the last day of my estimated delivery (08/03 - 08/09), I logged into Ford to see if the date updated. Lets see how these dates play out.....
I did get confirmation that my car has actually shipped, and is not stuck on Ramp6 in Kansas, so at least that's good.
The logic for me, is that I don't want holes in my bumper. I think it takes away from the looks of the car. Just like some people de-badge their car, or put on aftermarket rims. It's all aesthetics.
I also only run the plates when I go on long trips. Otherwise I never put it on.
If you do a search, there are a few threads that will probably answer your question.
However here are the two options for no-drill plate holders beside a vinyl sticker which may not be legal where you live. I currently use the Sto-N-Sho on my Camara SS so I know it's quality, but for my MME I...
