looking for grille fasteners
i have the center and the faux ducts cut out for a diamond grille mesh.
i still haven't been able to find the little metal fasteners or clips to attach the grill to the bumper.
if anyone has done this type of application, i'd appreciate it if you can help.
i've tried all the hardwares store already.
thanks in advance

I have a grill on mine & it's held on small black zip ties. Can't even see them unless you get up real close. To remove the grill, just cut the zip ties. Use new ones to reinstall.
Same here

When I cut my faux vents out, I left two small tabs on each side, where the mesh grill fits. ( used a "roto-zip" saw ) Purchase 4-small black anodized auto body bolts with Torx-heads, large enough not to pull through the mesh grills. I think it looks great! and they can be easily removed.

Zip ties = Duct tape
Do it the right way and get some L-brackets. Screw them into the OEM holes in the bumper, then use some nice stainless bolts to attach the grills.
Coastal Metals uses this system and it is MUCH better quality than zip ties.
