Default Wire Mod Help Please (ASAP)!!

Finally got around to doing this. I have removed the 7 and 10 mm bolts, I have left one phillips head screw that is acting like a push in rivet type deal, and then two other rivet type things just behind the wheel on the painted fender part. I can't for the life of me, get these things out, and I don't want to mess up the way the fender looks. Any suggestions??

What I usually do is unscrew them while putting a thin little flat screw driver under the edge of the screw head. you kind of have to pry it up a little bit until the threads catch then it will unscrew by turning the phillips head counter clockwise.
