Rear Bumper Guards
http://www.rotaryfx.com/product_p/ext1083.htm
I lost a fastener recently on my driver's side Rear Bumper Guard, so I have it tied up with wire right now.
What type of fastener holds up these bumper guards so I can order a new one?
Is is this type of fastener:

or this type of fastener:

The term "bumper guard" is throwing me at the moment, so:
There are three different plastic fasteners (plus a few metallic screws) involved with the bumper and the exhaust surrounds.
In the trunk are smaller fasteners. The rear wheel wheels have the so-named you link. There are also larger fasteners under the bumper following the muffler orientation (I can't tell from the other part number). Fortunately the only one(s) I broke were the wheel well fasteners.

Ahh... now I see the light. 
The "bumper guard" (aka exhaust surrounds) has affixed plastic tangs that fit into slots on the bumper as the primary attachment. The wheel well fasteners do double duty as its final attachment.

So will the wheel well fasteners work? I am missing the plastic fastener CLOSEST TO THE WHEEL, so the Bumper Guard/Exhaust Surrond looks like it is going to fall off from the bottom, but it is still in place by the top plastic rivet.
It should work.
edit: I just pulled up this pict to try and remind myself (it was only a few months ago I had it apart, but the memory's the 2nd thing to go The small pile of fasteners on the left floor are wheel well type.

Yeah I just put one of them on and it is working surprisingly well. It is just a tad smaller than the other rivet on the other side, so hopefully it will hold until I can get the other one in the mail. Thanks for the help!
