Default How to remove...

I had the sports appearance package on my Z. Which means it had the RS bodykit. How do I remove the hangers that are riveted into the side of the car? They look like flat pieces of metal. man... its pissing me off, btw i like the clean look of no body kit on my Z. I need the SS hood, and spoiler and to lower it to complete my appearance mods

From what I have read and heard here, there is no way to take the rivets off without leaving holes in the body where they used to be. Take a look at mine in my sig, I have the RS kit and the SS hood, (no spoiler though but in the future!) and I like the kit with the hood. Anyway, I'm sure a body shop could take the rivets off.

I would think they can just be pulled out? Like 02blackZ stated they will leave holes in which you would have to get filled and then painted at a body shop.
