It's not fun but the correct way to do this is to take the bumper cover off and cut the plastic rivets from the inside. This process however takes too long. I would suggest cutting the long center piece of the rivet off & drill out the center. You can get plugs to fill the holes although to fill them in with a plastic repair bonding agent looks better. This however becomes expensive do to the fact the bonding agent is itself expensive & hard to find, not to mention the bumper cover will need to be painted again. these bonding agents can be found in a paint supply store. Such companies as Lord Fuzzor & 3M are probably the most widely used.
