iirc come to think of it though, the rear "grilles" do not use clips.
The carparts.com people wont ship stuff like clips. Ud have to buy the lip or more likely buy the whole bumper. They sell sections of cars not just pieces. I tried to get a shift boot and the plastic trim around the gauge cluster but they said I would have had to buy the entire cluster or entire shifter.

The lips are even lighter than I thought they'd be too. I'm 99% sure the double sided 3M tape will do most of the job if I don't get clips that are perfectly snug. Gotta be something like these at Princess or Peavy Mart or something.

I just want to clarify;

car-parts.com, is purely a website for a network of dismantlers;
it would be up to the individual dismantlers as to if they would sell/ship clips separately - the website would have absolutely no say in this.

FWIW, the paint on my lips is done for a total of $210, it looks absolutely flawless and looks like a perfect match the paint on my roof which is basically clean, my bumpers are covered in dirt so I can't really set them next to it for a comparison. Very happy with it... will see how it holds up.

go to pretty much any parts store, they usually carry a variety and you can make one work usually.

then again if neither AV or NAPA have something, there's always P&P... or maybe you know someone who can help you out (hint, hint).

considering the last item I looked at buying from GM was hardware which came out to roughly $10/ea ~ I'd use that as an absolute last recourse.

I'm always game for hanging out... being a relative latecomer to the Calgary-Cobalt/Delta scene I'm pretty sure I've never met you.

How's the Beretta coming along?

I take it you're moving "up"??

Is it safe to assume you'll have a garage?

sounds good!! no ive never met you, i actually havent met many of the new guys!! im an OG... haha

slow... too cold to work on out in the garage i have now.. need a heater.. all interior is out.. shifter assembly will be out soon, so i can put in the 5 spd assembly.. need to put front suspension back together to move it.. but once in the new place i can pull it apart again and get the 5 spd tranny in...

not necessarily "UP".. still renting but cheaper so gives me a bit more room to save to buy next year.. looking at buying a vette in the next year and 1/2....

Oh man today sucks.

I left the light on in my car all night, so it died. After boosting it I went for a drive, I'd been suspicious my clutch has been slipping for a couple weeks now and it DIED hard today. Does ANYONE here know someone or have the knowledge to replace clutches here cheaper than the dealer? I don't have a lift or anything to be able to do it myself. I'm fairly car savvy but this one is going to be beyond me. Cheapest I've found is $800 and I bring the clutch.

I had to absolutely limp home from the north side .
