Remove Front License Plate Bracket?

I just drove home a brand new 2003 F150 Sport XL. I live in a state that doesn't require a front license plate, but the dealer affixed one with his dealership logo. I removed the plate, but the bracket is firmly attached. The bottom bracket connectors are just plastic pins, and easily removed, but the top connectors are attached with what appears to be unremovable screws, or pop-rivets. Does anybody know if these upper connectors
are removable? And, if so, what tool is needed to remove them?
I'd like to be able to reinstall the bracket if need be, so I'd like to remove it gently. Thanks for any help.

Remove Front License Plate Bracket?

they are 1/4 rivets. to remove them take a small punch and drive out the center pin then use a 1/4 drill to remove them. drill slow or the heat will melt the plate bracket. chuck
