i need to pull my front bumper and have it painted, ect, and need the rivets for it. but i dont want to pay 16 bucks plus shipping on latemodel if they can be found at lowes.

Mustang - 79-93 Front Bumper Cover Rivet Kit, Includes 21 Rivets at LRS - Same Day Shipping!

thats what im referring to.

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.

thank you.

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.

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.
