My local dealership still stocked them last I checked. NAPA also carries some of our fasteners...

Unfortunately some of the pieces are paint-to-match and come in blue.

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.

i just ordered and recieved the screws and the female part a few days ago. the screws come in packs of 5 and the female parts come in a pack of ten. so i got 2 bags of screws and 1 bag of the screw recievers. the price you ask . it was 30 and a few cents, and they went even gray like my interior.

i think home depot or lowe's actually carries some interior type fasteners, though i don't remember if they had the big plastic screws.

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.
Email me at:

if anyone is looking for some.

Just trying to help,

George
