Front gfx problem

We finally had a nice eekend here in Ny so I decided to try to take the front gfx off my IROC so I could repaint it. Anyways I go to take the nuts off the studs going through the driver's side fender, and it was the same scenario with both... put the socket on, turn the ratchet a little and POP... the stud broke clear off! After that I said the hell with it, I don't want to brake anything else. So now the driver's side portion of the gfx is only held in by that plastic rivet at the end.

So what's my best solutution here? Look for a replacement? Anyone got an extra one laying around?

Oh and how does that piece detach from the front bumper?

I'll take another look, but the studs looked broken.

Maybe I'll pull it off and see what happens.

Anyways I know there's the plastic rivets ant the ends, the studs through the fenders, but how do I detatch it from the bumper?
