Removed rear bumper cover... and the bumper bar to which the two bumperette blocks are attached.
Tried to drill it out the 6 rivets yesterday morning. Drill bits I had were insufficient, so I tabled that task until I could visit Harbor Fright. Then, early in the evening when light remained in the sky... I watched some "more" Youtube vids... and saw a guy manage out his rivets absent a drill. I grabbed a hammer and metal punch.
Had those rivets out in 2 whacks each. 2 minutes and 12 whacks.
This morning will reinstall the bumper bar (absent the bump mnetal pieces). Looking for a couple used license plate light housings (or will buy new)/
Yes, I'm doing the bumperette delete.
