Default Del Sol Liscense Plate Body Pannel Removal

Does anyone know how to get the body piece off between the taillights I took the four bolts off of the back of it but it still wont come off, I dont see anymore accessable bolts it feels like the two little indention circles that are in the middle of the piece behind where your liscense plate would normally cover have something to do with it but theres no screw/bolt, I dont get it can anyone help or reccomend a diagram or something, thanks!



Circles I am talking about where it feels like its connected but no visible way to disconnect:

I don't know about the Sols, but on other civics, there's 'clips' on the inside of the trunk holding it in place...

Ah, I missed that part. Yeah, those are pop rivets. Get some new ones at the dealer, becuase you'll probably break them trying to pry them out.

Are you talking about using it on the blue circles that are shown in red or the black things below them?
