little black clips...

recently ive been having to take off and put back on the front bumper numerous times within the past week or soo and i seem to keep snapping little pieces off of the black clips that are used to hold on the front bumper and front grilles and i was wondering if anyone knew where i could get more of them? think id have to ask the dealership for some or would say a pep boys or autozone have them?

Lowes and Home Depot have similar ones in the hardware department. A bunch of mine have broken, too. I've been meaning to ask the dealership if they have a 20 pack of 'em.

I need those too. I didn't think they were that easy to find.

If you can't find them anywhere else, the dealer part # for those is MR288150. Be prepared, though, the dealer probably charges a buck apiece for them.

I have used zip ties for the ones that broke off under the car.

i bought an assorted pack from the dealership one time it was three bucks for six or eight .there are alot of different kinds though ,different size heads and so on ,so bring a broken one with you.a body supplier should have these they might be cheaper.

anyone been able to find some off the net? Probably easier to buy in bulk for these than anything. I've snapped tons of them, but just never cared to look into buying more, i got lucky cause my body shop gave me like 15 of them when i went in for repairs.

+1 Zipties, aslo drywall screw sinks, I know it sounds crazy, but when I needed to put my stock intake back on to bring it to the dealer they worked really good as a temp fix
