I feel really F$&* stupid right now

Okay so I ordered a pair of Tinted Reverse Lights from AAC and they are set to arrive sometime tomorrow, so I decided to take off the rear bumper tonight, to shorten the story I need to know how to remove rivets from the body panels and how to install new ones. . Lucky thing is I need to replace the rear bumper completely anyways so this might be a better time for me to just go ahead and do it. I will probably just put the bumper on the broken clips and let the body shop fix it though. I want to shoot something right now and that doesn't bode well for the neighbours JK :emoticon7:

if you do need to remove those rivits they will need to be drilled out, small drill bit right in the center hole, just bigger than the hole it self, go straight once you pop through it will let go. When you go to put the part back you can either put a new rivit in using a special tool or use a nut and bolt (if clearance allows)

yup, no problem, you can either get a rivit tool, not sure but home depot or lowes should have something cheap or maybe even be able to loan you one, or just use a nit and bolt if clearance allows
