It would be easy enough to mask the big holes. In fact, it might look better with the center caps which I'd planned to have clear anodized. As for the fake rivets, they're actually pressed in bolts with half round heads. During the cleanup operation, I removed the nut and washer off the backside of one and tried to drive it out. Did not budge even a whisker. So, drilling would be the only option if a person wanted to swap them out. I'm thinking doing 80 of them would make me crazy(er).
