I have an 02 z28 that had the kit on it. I took off everything except the spoiler And actually just got done w/ filling the holes w/ panel bond & bondo, then repainted the rocker panels and the spoiler. the holes on the front and rear bumper are not as noticeable as the side skirts are. I took black touch up paint from my vin # so it would match and touched up the bumper holes w/ that paint & a small tipped brushed,

When i took the rivets off I took a drill and drilled out holes and the and they popped right out. Just be careful because you obviously don't want to drill to big of holes. Get a drill bit the exact size of the rivet. I unfortunatley do not have pics of the holes. I just got done painting the rocker panels and the holes are now filled and looks like it never happened. since my dad & I paint for a living it cost me $170 for paint (left over from painting my cowl hood) and around 10-12 hrs of my own time.
