You know, the ones with the phillips head imprint that holds the fender liners, trunk carpet, front air dam, etc... in place?

Thanks!

Yep, probably better off at the Depot, since here they are $1.95 each!

Home Depot has NOTHING that will work like the OE fasteners.

i was surprised to see them myself. last year i was there one time getting some things for a project and browsing through the aisle for a project and found a bin full of them. same size and everything.

might've been Lowes I suppose. they're both just up around the corner and i usually end up looking at both places for stuff.

Lowes I could believe. They have odd stock, almost as much as Ace.
I actually picked up a Porter Cable 7424 there, in stock. Couldn't believe it.

Agreed.
It is nice being able to get SS metric hardware only 2 miles from the house.

Go to a Napa store. I just took one off my car and the guy gave me the closest thing he had to it. Worked perfect. I've done that with several cars.

Just go to a dealer, they'll probably hand you a fist full for nothing.
