Default Plastic Fastener Replacement

I have no idea what to call these but I've seen an LS1 camaro with these swapped out for polished looking pieces. Any idea where to get them or what to call them?

They are the plastic fasteners that hold the front bumper cover on as well as the support. You can see them in the pic of my car.

Hey, nice to see you still post around here.

I'm pretty sure you can get them at the specialized stainless website.

Mine came with the bolt kit from Specialized Stainless. Looks much better. I'm sure you could buy just the pieces needed from them also.

I will probably go with these but how do you install the bumper support bolts? The originals are plastic fasteners that snap into place. I dont see how you can get a hand under there to hold a nut?

For the left two and the right two, put your hand in by the headlight. For the middle one put your hand in by the washer fluid cap. I just went out to checked, there is plenty of room to hold the nut underneath. I bought the kit when it came out and had no problems at all.
