So, I didn't think my dealer can be any worse than they already are and asked them for a quote on some clips that I'm missing on the panels covering the engine.

$97 dollars for less than 10 clips...I assume that's the price installed.

After I caught my breath I asked em for a price to re-attach my trunk liner which got beat up after installing reverse HIDs, $700.

So...thinking that's it's getting quite ridiculous I asked for an estimate on a stain on my hood, which I have scratched up but still couldn't remove. $700

Makes me think those guys can only think in 100's and the price NEVER goes down.

To the point: Does anyone know where to buy clips in bulk? I am missing maybe a dozen with flat head, maybe 6-8mm in size and same amount with a round pop action center.

quick ebay-borrowed pics of what I need:





Thanks in advance.

I believe you can get them at Lowes and Home Depot as well. Look in the little bins with springs, cotter pins, etc.

hehe good ol stealer

go to a different dealer or get the part numbers and go to a honda dealer which carries the same clips for much cheaper. Also try http://acura.bernardiparts.com/ the clips usually range from 2-4 each.

 

97$? lmaoo oh man too funny
