You could try the junk yards, but the gas you'd burn going to one would negate any savings. The clips aren't exactly cheap at the dealerships, though. Most people are also in your shoes with broken/missing tabs, so you won't find anybody selling them (rare).

I'm missing quite a bit of those plastic clips and nothing rattles in my car and it has 120K miles on it.

Wait, are we talking about the ones that lets you clip on the plastic panels to the metal?




I didn't know that. The dealership sells those things at like $2 each. Maybe I'm stingy but I don't feel like paying for those when my panels don't rattle. Is the AutoZone price better?

Jason, would you be able to grab me some? I'm missing most of the clips that hold the front bumper to the support and the ones that hold the battery/fluid cover shroud in place. I also need all 6 covers for the taillights. Personally, I don't really care about the interior panel clips, since I can't see them.

I'm not sure off the top of my head. They had quite a few different types there but I'm not positive they had the first ones you powered.

Default The Time has come~~~

Sorry lately ive been out of touch...........been so tied up lately is why i haven't made any of the autoX events, gavins (Gwords) events, etc....

Were moving!

My wife and I will be relocating back to our home town of San Antonio, TX.

Its funny to say that solo was right?!! that fugger! LOL!!
https://my350z.com/forum/4971678-post28.html
but regardless of that, our goal was 3 to 5 years and its been just over 3....so we were semi on point other than we really love it here and this is very hard.........

We came to DFW to better our careers and both my wife and I were fortunate enough to do so while we were here......

I nearly doubled my pay coming up here and now I obtained another huge raise to move back! I have 9 years experience in the Aerospace engineering industry and I have landed a Level 4 (They only have levels 1-4) engineering position. I'm returning to my old work site, however working on the same program and planes I am certified to work on here in Dallas, so im going back to a new program at my old site! I'm certified in military and commercial along with many many other certifications its nuts...

My wife went to school when we moved here and changed her complete career and now has 3 years under her belt doing what she loves.......my new job and pay will allow her to finish her Masters full time in SA. She has 9 hours already approved and transfered to start with.


We have meet some amazing friends here and thats what makes this hard! Those know who you are!!! I'm gonna miss all you guys!!

However, I will be towing up to mineral wells from SA like I use to back in the day, so maybe we can meet up at a drift event again!!


The internetz will keep us close....

Default Congratulations on your new job.

Hello JasonZ-Ya,

Congratulations on your new job!

I am sorry we could not meet during your business visit to Los Angeles.

My wife and I usually travel to Houston to visit family.

We may cruise over to pay a visit.

If and when we do, we could deliver some parts or items from California for you.

Again, Congratulations,
Lboy06.

Congratulations to you and your wife, Jason. I've only met you once but you are a stand up guy and the DFW community is very lucky to have had you around for the past several years. When are the dates set to move back? Hopefully I'll get to run into you again down the road. Best of luck my friend...
