Did it look like this? This is what mine was like when I swapped in the Centerforce, and it seems that this is normal wear. The resurfacing sure made the thing look nice and shiny though. However, I wasn't aware that the "friction plate" had rivets. In fact, I don't even know what the hell a friction plate is! Maybe you mean flywheel...in this case, the flywheel doesn't have any rivets. It has little alignment stub things, as shown in the picture.
The clutch disc has rivets, and is able to be worn down to within 1/16" until it needs to be changed. Did you actually see the parts that were FUBAR before OKing the repairs? If they didn't resurface the flywheel b4 originally installing the Centerforce, thats purty stupid in my opinion. Its like 20-30 bucks for something that is so easy to get done and it helps the longevity of your new clutch.
