rear bumper end caps
i recently took off the rear bumper end caps because I like the look the only problem is it's got those stupid bumper brackets riveted on if you took off your end caps what did you do about the brackets and if you took the brackets off what did you do about the holes? by the way I don't have access to a welder or anything so I can't fill the holes in that way

Don't grind the rivets off. Drill them out. Then you could reinstall new rivets and dip them in rtv. Then paint over them.
In my case i just filled the holes with rtv because i plan on doin the rear 1/4 fold. then you won't even see them.
The best way,however is welding them closed. It would cost maybe 20 bucks to have a shop doit. Its not a big deal by any means.
