Far as I know..they don't rivet plate holders on... look closer if it'* warm enough. Then if the plate holder is good...I know of someone looking for one

I have two bolts inside those holes, and I've seen some go in through the bottome of the plate holder also.

Well mine was bolted on and I took it off years ago, but if it is riveted on, then it is a simple task to drill out the rivets. If you've never drilled out rivets before, pick a drill size somewhat larger than the through-hole and drill intill the rivet head spins off. That simple.
It'* actually somewhat easier to drill a rivet from the tail end, but you might have access issues behind the bumper.

Use common sense while doing this or any other work on your vehicle. My advice does not come with a warranty or money back guarantee.
