Re: front valance clips

Seems to me it was just a j-nut and a bolt. Can you post a pic to refresh my failing memory?

Re: front valance clips

They are a strip of metal with three threaded studs made into it. Have been looking for a set myself for months, if you find a place to buy them please let us know. They are not reproduced either that I can find

I purchased new from my dealership, though it's been several years ago.
