Gotta drill the rivets out.
Get a crappy car for winter!!! solves alot of problem!
theres no other way? like a rivet remover tool or something like that?
the rivot remover tool is a drill bit .. you just drill out the little center section of the rivot head and it'll come loose .. so your gonna be left with a hole in your bumber where the rivots were located.

why not just get a set of stock springs and throw them in the car for the winter

well i don't still have the spring and i don't feel like spending the money.......and i am worried that a chunk of wheel wedge ice build up that has fallen off another car is going to break my front lip off.........plus all it is is 4 rivets
dremel the rivet heads.
I second the factory springs... the holes will either get larger or more numerous next year.

Just jack it up, add the factory rims, and have a blast!
Or spend $500 or less and get a beater for the winter like everyone else who has a modded Foci and a body kit.

Or steal mom's car.
