Go to NAPA.

In my Neon, I busted a countless number of those. They sell them in big bags, I think by manufacturer

you are probably better off going through toyota or see if a local body shop can get them cheaper for you, they are cheap POS clips that break so easily, i must of gone through 15 lol

I am about to have my dad get me a bag full of them to just keep in my car :-P

If they're the little push buttons that hold the trim to the body, I got a dozen or so at the dealer for a few dollars. Might as well get them from your local dealer though - even if Sparks has them cheaper, you'd be paying more for shipping than for a few clips.

dude I went to Grossinger Scion, the place I hate the most...honestly worst dealership ever. Well they told me 4 dollars per clip, I was like WTF. Then I left because there was no way I would pay 4 dollars for a POS plastic clip. Can you get me some clips?

domo, were you looking specific clips (like certain location on the car?) or just the 'generic' white ones? because i know i got new ones for te top of my bumper and the one i didnt replace they wanted $12 at my dealership down here. but others were cheaper(and were universal to other places on the car)

This is so lame, I dont understand how the dealership would have the nerve to sell one freaking lame plastic clip for four bucks. Sad, I hope they get rapped in the butt or there dealership burns down.
