    Just use screws. That's what I did for my Enlight. #8-1/2", but your rivets might be bigger or smaller.

    you could just replace the rivets when you are done with your modding too... I realize that it would mean more drilling in the future if you ever wanted to change something else but it is an option. I have grown fond of rivets in situations that I'm pretty sure nothing will change in the near future... clean, easy, looks good too.
