Default Front License Plate Bracket Removal

Has anyone had any experience removing them? It looks like it is held on with two rivets and then sits on the lowest part of the bumper. The dealership here in Pittsburgh traded with a dealership in Ohio who had already installed it. I'm guessing I can dill out the rivets, but I really don't want holes in a brand new truck. Any suggestions?

pretty sure the only option is to drill them out. Take a really small bit and drill them out. Doesn't take 5 min to do and you can't really see the holes with them bein that small

I'm thinking rivets are 3/16". And 4 of them on an 09 if I remember correctly!
