It's not a rumor - my OBX (and a couple other trims - Wildtraks are looking fine) with the modular steel bumper came with plastic instead of the promised steel bash plate.

Thank you for the update!!
Your dealer is much more on top of this than most - including mine!
Which dealership do you use? Not sure yet who I want to use for service.
Yep, this happened to me as well.
Picked up my OBX SAS with the modular steel bumper and *plastic* "bash plate".
If they want to change fine - later, after the descriptions and order forms are revised, but if all ours were ordered this way as stated/promised in all the order info, and my window...
