Remove Front License Plate Holder

Ok, Color me shocked! I just moved my 2001 XKR from a state that requires front plates to a state that does not. I was so happy to pull off the front plate only to find the bracket attached in a way I could not fathom. Thanks to this forum posting, I realized that they used rivets to attach the bracket! Actually, mine look like "pop rivets". So, if you put a punch on the center of that pin, and hit it, you drive the pin back (loosening the rivet) and have a nice hole to drill out the ring a the top of the rivet and release the black.
Pop rivets? Really? anyway, I'm going to drill them out tomorrow and then I'll decide about repairs to the remaining bumper parts. I'm leaning towards the bumper plugs, but we'll see.
Thanks again to the forum members for the valuable insight!
