      rivets? they shouldnt be rivets. at least none i have seen are

      they have middle piece that should be raised up with a screwdriver and then rest pulls out. if you happen to have rivets, i would not invest in them again. go to auto parts store and buy the push pins things that i just described, they are cheap

          You mean the one that holds the front bumper cover? Last time I lost mine and it was 5 bucks at my dealer.

          Yeah I know it's a rip-off but I really only needed one and didn't feel like ordering a big pack...

                  my car has them, so... shrug I dont know why yours didnt. either way they hold the bumper well....I was told that the "newer" cars use these rivets....someone told me who works at a shop. either way, if you are taking out the headlights and what not you kind of nee spares of these so u can put it back.


                  thanks for all your help guys...
