Tailgate Center Trim Removal?

Does anybody know the best way to remove the center trim on the tailgate?

(the piece with the Ford letters stamped in it)

Are there plastic clips behind it or are they metal?

I see rivets heads on the inside of the tailgate - do I need to grind these off?

Thanks.

Yup your right on target. I used a 1/4" drill bit to remove the heads. Then put pop revets back in to hole it. just like new.. my 2cents
