Anyone know if hoodpad fastners for 97 GTS are a dealer only item!? I'd hate to spend huge dollars at the dealer if I can get some generic fastners elsewhere that will work for a cheaper cost!?

Thanks in advance!!

Most auto parts stores also carry these in small packs as well . Body-Tite #45501 and Wee Pak #99-1224 are a couple of the common ones in my area.

I just picked up a pack of 15 at Auto Zone for 2.99. They are round buttons rather than the wing type. The dealer wanted 3.25 each for the OEM ones and it takes 18.

I picked some up at Pep Boys 3/$1.69. They were listed for early 70's chrysler hood pad clips (exact same clip as my 99' Viper

After going to 1/2 dozen or so body shops around St. Louis I decided to replace mine with the round head ones. Much cheaper than the $2.50 per clip that the dealer wanted and much easier to find. They work great and look good on my hood pad.
