I can't think of a good replacement for those other than the original specified parts.

I replaced them all during the repaint of Ol' Turbo. Pretty cheap at the dealer if I remember correctly.

^^I agree, from the dealership, $0.88 each as I recall. They are reusable, if you're carful to pry out the center.

Here's a thread with pics and an explanation of how to remove the clips without breaking them.

http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=234009

EDIT: You could use the smallest size zip ties to hold the grill on until you get the correct clips. The mesh holes are large enough for one to pass through and use the clip hole to come back up and zip it. Then you could even snip them off and put the clips in at the dealership when you pick them up.

I would call the dealer to make sure they have those clips in stock. I've had to order just about everything for my car and pick it up once they got it. It usually takes about 2 days.
