Stock Undertray

Has anybody found an alternative to those screw type plastic rivets that hold the stock undertray in?

I was looking to find some pop type plastic rivets (where you just take the head of the screwdriver and push it in the center part of the rivet and pit pops out).

Anybody found the size/place to get them that would work?

I think using those rather than the screws that strip incredibly easily would make it much easier to remove and put back the stock undertray...

You can find some at autozone for pretty cheap, well cheaper than oem. It's on that rack that spins around and has other types of screws. Make sure you bring one with you so that you can compare them before purchasing.

Lancershop has them cheap. At Kragen they have a generic alternative but the alternative is almost as much and not as good quality.

I purchased a bag of new clips from Napa, take a old clip with you for matching. A better clip design or for faster removal, the Ford clips would be a better choice. They are designed to be removed with a panel removal tool only.

Lightbulb dum question

what is the purpose of a under tray besides debris going or hitting your engine? Can someone enlighten me with their knowledge...

I actually don't mind the undertray tabs. They might be a pain to take out but at least putting them back in is quick and easy.
