Default Where to buy the clips that hold the lid down?

tonight at the street races I was lined up and had forgot that i had my hood popped(not completely up for the smartasses) and the flagger shut my hood before I could stop him because everytime i pop the hood the clips come loose and it popped them off. Does anyone know where I can get some or are they just part of the whole lower air lid? Please let me know.

Make sure the front lip on your lid is tucked INSIDE the lower airbox. People try to snap the clips down with that lip on the outside, which causes 99% of the problems with the clips popping off.

Yup, what he said.

If you need new clips (lost one), use the PN above.

I didn't do it. As I said, the flagger unknowingly just shut my hood. Thanks for the part #.

Again. Like said above. If the lid keeps "popping" off. It's not being put on right. New clips are not going to fix that problem untill the lid is installed correctly.

Ok, question, my clips dont pop loose but the left side (looking at the engine from the front) the tab on the box that goes into the little slot keeps coming out. I have to push it down and then force it back for it to be in the slot receptacle. I put a K&N filter on it and a smooth bellows and even trimed the bellows because I thought it was making it come out. Any suggestions? Thanks
