Black Undercar Plugs

I broke a few of those black plastic wedge things under the car to hold up the undercar guards. Where can I buy some of these besides at the dealer?

MachEvo.com sells some for the Evo. I emailed them to ask if they'd work for the Lancer too, but they never replied. I would think that they'd be the same. I think uses the same plugs for all the cars...

nope haven't asked, too lazy to drive to my dealer, i'm probably gonna call pepboys, checkers, and autozone. But if anyone knows it will make it easier than calling every store lol

If you get them, post up. I'm hesitant to order them without confirming. And I emailed a few times to no response, so hopefully you'll have better luck.

EDIT: Sh*t, did the price go up, or is my memory bad?

Jeebus H!!! $1.90 each?! Good thing I just got rid of all the plastic under my car

And they don't sound EXACTLY like what's needed. These sound like the pop rivets that hold the airbox to the front frame- you know, push the pin up and that releases the 3 arms... the kind under the car have the flat heads that you need to pry up with a screwdriver to release the 3 sides... almost the same (same principle) but these would be a biatch to take off of the panels (how are you going to get to the back to push the pin out if its covered by the plastic panel?)

Just rip off all the guards, it allows more air to cool the engine :-) Just make sure you wash the engine once and a while.
