    How many rivets does the front bumper cover have? And how do I remove them? Im getting ready to buy a new front for my 89 notch, and im not sure how to remove the rivets holding the old cover on.

    What do I replace the rivets with? Can I replace them with nuts/bolts or do I have to buy new rivets?

    new rivets is probably best, but you can use nuts and bolts if you can get to the back of each to hold the nuts on while you tighten the bolts.
