I want to totally remove the front fenders and ran into rivets. How do I get these out? Is there anyway to get em out to where i can put em back in if needed?

take a drill with a drill bit that will fit inside the hole. then drill them out

Will that ruin them and make it impossible to put back on or just pop them out?

Alright thanks,.
Drill bit snapped like 3 times so fast. Do u drill inside out and put major pressure on it? Caznt see why u need a drill arent u just pushing it out? Cant i get like a little pointy object and hammer it out?

If you want to F'em up could do that. How small of a drill bit are you using?
you need to grab the stem on the backside with some needle nose pliers. otherwise it will spin and eat up the plastic.

while holding the backside, use a drillbit and slowly start drilling the center out. you will break the rivet before going completely through. takes about 5-10 seconds per rivet.
Or you could just cut the rivits with a pair of dikes! Quick and easy, no broken bits!
take a drill bit a lil bigger then the hole in the midle of the rivet, and just drill em, dont push hard, just let the weight of the drill do the work. if they spin then hold the back with a pair of pliers. you cant just force em out becaus there is a washer on the back and that wll eat a big hole in the fenders.
You can use a blow torch... but that may leave a mark......................

on a serious note............
