if youre talking about the ones in the front that hold it down, round and black i think......go to autozone and look in their section for little clips and plastic screws and look for one of the round ones about the same size as the hole near the radiator. they should have some clips there in a similar size. they worked for me.

either dont use it and put hood vent in. or get self tapping screws and screw it down or just get new grommits.

if you go to mitsu, they have a toolbox with diff sized plastic pieces for those. just say u lost two retainers from the snorkle of your intake. theyll be more than happy to give you some to replace it tho. remember...plastic retainers is the word.

Mine used to come loose all the time, get some bolts and lock nuts along with some washers and you will be good to go.

go to the dealer and they cost like 80cents for like 2 of them... at least thats what the guy here charged me... the clips have been hell what is the word something that is replaced by something else... anyway what you will probably get is a screw looking thing that expands the prong that you slide in the hole...
