This video is going over the pro way, using genuine GM parts and the GM service manual procedure, which does include aluminum rivets. Same procedure as what the GM dealership would have done during new vehicle prep. For the DIYer who wants to do this with OEM grade parts, there are links in the video description where a rivet gun can be had for under $10. And some parts stores will even loan one out.
My 2014 Silverado z71 has a chrome front bumper. I'd hate to drill through that chrome, because rust will start due to chrome being broken and chrome Will eventually flake. Thoughts?
This video, and the license bracket kit shown, are only for the SUV body styles with the Z71 package not the pickups. The SUVs have plastic bumper covers with a stainless steel insert as a skid plate.
The RPO codes are only used to distinguish between part numbers, where for a given model year there may be multiple options. In this case RPO Z71, which tells us the truck uses a unique front license plate bracket for that year. When you're looking at a GM specific parts catalog, it will list different numbers, and where there are multiple ones, by RPO code.

How can I find the exact part number using the service codes in the glovebox?
