    So I got the drivers side off. Went over to the passenger side and noticed that the three plastic rivit clips are all different?

    I want to take them out with as little damage as possible.

    Top: regular one (I know how to get this one out)
    Middle: some wierd looking one, the thig sticking out appears to be threaded.
    Bottom: Looks like the middle one, but no thing sticking out.

    Thanks in advance!

    looks like an actual rivet and not a plastic fastener.

    you may have to drill it out

    They look like the kind that you take a small punch or phillips and gently punch the small center peice in. Then the whole thing just pops out.

    alright they were definitly rivits. I just pulled it out far enough so i could get wire cutters around the base and snip the heads off.

    Hello,

    Might you be interested in parting with your driver's side front mudflap?

    Thanks,

    Bill
