Why don't you send it back? Plus as long as it was their mistake and not yours they should have to pay the return shipping. Don't just give up and settle for what they sent you, get exactly what you paid for.

+1

if it's their mistake, they should pay for it, not you.

i know but here is where the situation gets hairy. i was away on vacation when the bumper came and told my mom to deliver it to the dealer to get it painted. now that i am back i find out that it is pdc version with the holes.

so if i can get the holes (plugs) i will be happy. i don't think duke dynamics will reinburse me for paint charges as well. but here is another thing that is hairy. when i ordered the bumper i specifically told the guy i don't want PDC many times and he understood.

so hopefully i can get the plugs.

just send duke an email. I'm sure he will help you out. Especially since it was Their mistake. But they've always been helpful to me from past experiences.

how would they fill the holes with just paint? there has to be some type of board or something behind the holes but even that it will have a layered look.

They can fill it with fiberglass. No big deal.

any idea how much this would cost me? and would the result be like a rear bumper without pdc?
