Help! the plastic pins that hold the plastic up in the wheel wells
somehow my poor z lost a bunch of these on my roadtrip home to florida after getting out of the military..
now my bumper is all misaligned looking and the plastic is dangling on the inner part of the wheel well..
all the screws on the lip of the fender are there so its not gonna fall but its bothering the hell out of me now that ive figured out the problem...
where the heck do i get new ones of these plastic pins or what can i use to replace them?

Believe it or not some Lowe's home improvement warehouses actually stock similar fasteners. I found mine there a bought a bunch of different sizes for less than $10.

I don't think it has anything to do with being ignorant to the fact that these parts can be purchased through the dealerships. Hell, I was just there earlier today picking up an A/C line for my Z.
The problem is that when you go to the dealership you can pretty much bet you'll be bending over and taking it. If I can find the same part (of comparable quality) elsewhere for cheaper, I try to do it.
