Should Dealers Be Forced to Remove Front Plate Brackets?

When cars are presented at major auto shows, they are shown without license plates because those little squares ruin the lines. Even when they leave the factory, most motors do so without front plate holders, which dealers install.
Some lucky corners of the world allow owners not to run a front place and people in Florida are especially adamant that their front bumpers remain unspoiled.

One unlucky guy picked up a 2014 Ford Fiesta ST from Ford Mullinax, a dealer from the Orlando area and found mechanics had "screwed a billboard to the grille". After removing it, he found the holder had been tapped into the bumper and now wants to make the dealer fix this infraction. Matching the multi-layered paint on a brand new car is not going to be easy.

Which raises the question: Should Florida dealers be allowed to fix plate holders on the front of cars? Can they be forced to take them off and repair the holes based on contract? Here's the Reddit post where your opinions are supposed to go.
