Removing the front plate bracket
Hey Guys,
I took a look at this over the weekend, just looks like two rivets and some clips that hinge in from the top. Has anyone removed theirs? What's behind the bracket...worried about drilling out the rivets only to have it look like crap with what's left behind. Thanks!

I installed a small light bar in that location.

I actually drilled out the rivets..but either way the rivet is plastic and you can probably pull it off. It is also hooked on top with 2 square clips..just wiggle it off and it will pop off..It will leave 2 small round holes facing forward from the rivets..I just bought plastic cover plugs and plugged the holes..the top square holes i just left alone.
Adding a LED light bar is a good idea..i might do the same.

Which brand light bar did you get and how did you mount it?
