little silver swords! lol
You put the blade end of the sword into the rivet gun. Them place the handle into the properly sized hole. Then press firmly and crimp the rivet gun (assuming it is a manual gun). The handle of the sword should squish together and hold both sides of the hole and the blade end should break off and pop out the back of the rivet gun.

Those plastic black screws aren't used since you have to remove the crash beam to fit the JDM rear. The above pic is from the underside of the car looking up at the crash beam. This is a picture of the black screws before removing the USDM bumper. The install project is pretty straight forward. The trickiest part is the license plate mount modification to fit the JDM rear. That doesn't mean it is super hard, just harder than the rest of the process.
