anyone know what size rivets they are? i need to order some stuff from mm (energy motor mounts and prothane trans mount) and they of course dont carry this, so i was wondering.

The rivits just hold the nose cone to the inner part of the bumper. The whole nose comes off as an assembly. You shouldnt need rivits.

mine looks like its riveted to the header pannel

It should be. I am pretty certian that it all comes off in one pc.

yeah but see i think i need a header pannel, im removing it to find whats broken

Well you never said that. The rivits are not normal sized. I looked for them at local hardware stores before and I couldnt find any. I had to order them from LMR.
