Its either riveted or bolted on, i dont see a license plate holder being taped on. If it is then that is extremely gay on gm's part.

It is unfortunately bolted on. I looked at removing mine too, and decided it was easier just to put something in it for the time being.

yea, definitely riveted. i had some work done to my front bumper to remove some scratches. left it off, but left the holes in it in case the cops give me any problems.

Im a little confused. I just got my 03 ls sport and the bracket is rivited on.. How do I go about getting it off?

Wire cutters doesnt seem right . Thought about drilling them out but I dont really want to

Stupid Virginia!

You gotta have a front plate here or they'll pull you over in about 2 seconds...

I took a drill bit and drilled out the center of the rivet... took about 5 minutes once I got the right bit size and a good battery in my drill... I don't remember the exact size I used. I want to say 3/8 but that seems a little big to me...

I have an 05 and its just screwed on using two small scrwes, and when you remove them, you barely see the holes?

on my old 00 it was riveted.. i believe it took a 1/8" or 3/8" bit.. bought some rubber chaulking i think it was(dad had it laying around) and just let it sit for 3 days then sanded it down and used touch up paint on it..im not 100% sure on what it was i used to fill the holes but some kind adhesive that will flex and harden so u can sand it down..oratleast take a razor and cut it even with the rest of the bumper..
