I had an hour before I had to leave home for an interview, so I decided to remove my front license plate frame.
I drilled through the center of the driver side rivit, and then pulled a little. Then I wanted to cry. I didn't remove the rivit correctly and made a nasty hole in the bumper. I was able to remove the next one correctly, however I still have one nasty hole.
I think that I read that you can order painted bumper hole covers for $25. I might do this, or put the license plate frame back on the hide the ugly hole.
I have included pictures of my mistake so that others hopefully don't do the same. The trick is to remove the entire head of the rivit before you do any pulling on the frame.
Then I leave for my interview (feeling p*ssed off at myself) only to have another problem in the parking lot of the company that I am interviewing with.
