Instead of clips, what can I use???

I am talking about those black plastic clips that holds everything in place. I am missing quite a few and I need to know where I can get them other than the dealer. The dealer is charging me $2.25 for 1 clip! With the amount I need, that is a rip-off! Can I get the clips anywhere else or what else can I substitute it with?

TIA

Blackshadow - I feel your pain. I can tell you where you CAN'T get them Kragen and Autozone both looked at me like I was crazy when I brought one in. Maybe Napa would have them.

You can probably get them from http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.net/
But, you'll pay $4-5 for shipping, so be and get everything you need

Just take your car in for service and jack them off the loaner (aka parts car).

Try a Honda dealer, see if it's cheaper there.

Or go ghetto and go to a junkyard... We're mostly bits out of the Accord parts bin anyways.

Lowe's has them in the Specialty Hardware drawers. 2 for .73 I just bought 10 of them to replace a missing inner fender. They are very close to the originals and work fine.
