You have to drill out the rivets on the front plate to remove it

Cool thanks! how do you like the chrome pillars? do they match the rest of the chrome trim, door handles etc? On the rivets, what size bit did you used? Did you drill all the way through? If I have to put the plate back on, are the rivets available at auto part stores or dealer?

I too would like to get my front plate off.. Are there holes in the bumper after you take it off?? what bit did you use?

Are there holes left when you drill out the rivits?

^^ x2.

I took my car back to where I bought it from and the Service guy said that I'd have to drill out the rivets but there would be 3 holes in the bumper. There are places that sell little caps that fit the holes....I'll have to try to find that website again. I want to remove my front license plate bracket, but I don't want the 3 holes!

Mine didnt have a front plate but was just answering your question that drilling would be required and you can fill them with bumper plugs or have a body shop fix them all be it more expensive that way,

For the pillars they match perfectly!
