They're completely flat--there is no way to lift up the center section and remove the rivets. Consequently, it seems that to remove the front bumper, you'd either have to drill out and replace those two pop rivets, or remove the entire splash guard with the bumper.

Is this just something unique to my dealership's installation? Is there a way to remove and reuse those pop rivets?
Mine were the same way. It was a major PITA getting them out. Pick up a few extra as they'll be ruined when you take them out, but they come out.
