Default Body & Bumper Clips

Does anyone happen to know where I can buy body clips for the batter cover area, and/or the fender liner plastic clips that hold it on? Please post a link to either the part number or the site to buy them from. Any info is appreciated.

Whenever a specific OEM part number needs to be looked up, I usually head straight to Courtesy Parts.

http://www.courtesyparts.com/350z-pa...5_824_831.html

For something menial like clips though, I head straight to Ebay, and just do a search like "Nissan Clips"

Example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/20PCS-PLASTI...717e20&vxp=mtr

This, though, like all things of sketchy manufacture, may not actually fit as perfectly as OEM, but at that price

Also, those clips are used everywhere in our cars.

Go to a dealer, not worth buying online and paying shipping for

I'd just go to a dealer if you need them ASAP.You'l pay a higher price though.
Besides dealers,several forum vendors sell them.I usually buy from Z1 Motorsports.
They are OEM parts.

Well i picked those up off ebay. $2.40, so if it doesnt work i guess ill be out a bit. I didnt know Z1 had them, so I'll check on that if these dont work. If the price is relatively close, I'll just go to the dealership.

Agreed. For small stuff I'd just go to the dealer.

Just drive up to a body shop (mom&pop) and ask to buy a handful of clips. I've had a couple ppl do that and I do it for them.

Here is the link i used: http://www.ebay.com/itm/20PCS-PLASTI...717e20&vxp=mtr

They are super cheap so i wasnt really concerned with them not working. I figure I'd give it a try and see how it goes. The things look just like oem, and work just like they are supposed to. If they break early, i have plenty more left over.
