If its like mine, Im thinking you going to have to drill those rivits out!

yep.. there really stuck!!... oh well I guess is stayin on till i think of something..

you will have to drill out the rivets or just pull them out hard!
It is easy to put the bracket back on, just use a sheet metal screw to go in the original hole that rivet was in - I dont know why they did this instead of just using a removable rivet...

I would guess these are put on at the dealership. This is usually part of a PDI as the cars come in. Since not all states need front plates, I dont think the manufacture puts them on. At least thats how it was done at the dealerships / and cars I sold in the past.

When I was in at the dealer I just asked if their trim guy could do it, took him a few minutes and he even put little plugs in it to fill the holes for free.
