I got mine at AutoZone. Unfortunately, the screws only came in black. So I replaced all of them in black and it doesn't look that bad.

mine were gray and i needed some of the clips they screwed into. So i went to the junk yard for somethin i cant remember n i found a car with decent gray interior n took it apart carefully stress carefully lol. So i got some clips that way oh yeh i also got the clips that hold the pillar covers on. Those things r hard as hell to get out with out breaking but i eventually slowly worked them out with a real small screw driver.

I just got a whole mess of them from a junk yard. Got them rather cheap too. Good thing...cuz they break so damn easy (especially when you are angry...because you have no patients when nothing wants to line up where it is supposed to be

I've always been able to get all the interior clips from Pep Boys, but the large plastic screw only came in black. I sanded the heads and sprayed them with plastic dye and they came out pretty good.

What color are you looking for?? I have some of many colors, for the large screws.
Painting ones that do not match yours is a good idea, but sometimes the replacements from the auto store are slightly different. They tend to be smooth, with no "grain" on the head of the screw (I hope that this makes sense). Only problem with this is that the paint can/will flake off with continued used (screwing and unscrewing), plus the paint costs more for the total price for your replacement job.

if anyone is looking for some.
Just trying to help,
