Some DAPO removed/lost the clips that the screws holding the foglight grille screw into. Does anyone have a specific replacement recommendation?

I believe a&pgirl (914central) put together a kit that included those clips

I just bought some from the hardware store. Easy.

The ones I got at the hardware store were "U-speed nuts". They are made from a folded-over piece of metal, so they slide onto the tabs at the corners of the bumper openings. They also had plain "speed nuts", which were made from flat pieces of metal. Good for holding the engine lid letters on (for instance) but not so great for the fog light grilles.

Yes, you'll want the "U" shaped variety, and they're pretty small.
