Finishing Panel Clips

[Clay C]

I was able to source 1 clip from the web but that’s all I can find. Probably a week or so before it arrives. Does anyone have any of these clips that hold the bottom of the finishing panel down? Hopefully I can find or fabricate something that will work if I can’t find any more of them.

Are they out of stock at JDM car parts?

[Clay C]

They are, I bought the last one.

Are they planning on more? I may need a couple

[Clay C]

Just got an email from them and they said they are re-stocking on those. I thought it may have been a last call item because no one else on the planet shows any listing for them that i can find.

@Patcon I was able to place an order for the other clips today. If you need them go get them!

Just doesn’t feel like 30 bucks....

Priced per gram it's a deal.

I agree but I can't make them either. I had considered trying to have a batch made but I bet they wouldn't be cheap enough to offset the time involved. Sometimes you gotta pay to play...

This reminds me of the discussion here a year or two back regarding the clips that hold the Series 1 hatch vent diffusers in place.  They were -- and I believe still are -- NLA.  One of the CZCC members gathered advance orders from a few other members and then had a batch order made by a local shop.  IIRC, the price per piece was nowhere close to $30.

True but the hatch vent clips are much much simpler. These little finisher panel clips are quite intricate and need to be really tough and exact to work properly
