My fender liner ripped off at 70mph (damn driveway scrape a few days earlier ) Where can I buy a bunch of generics for cheap? Luckily I have a new fender liner thanks to the 925kid and I want to put this on ASAP. My CAI is exposed so my driveability is limited to say the least. I have half the day off tomorrow and wanted to take care of this mess!

Thanks i-club

This is gonna sound crazy but... I always get them from Subaru.

hmmmmmm... yeah my local Subaru parts dept had two in stock and two randoms in the shop they gave me and I can't wait for them to order some clips that I'm sure could be found cheaper from somewhere else....

Autozone?
Kragens?
Monument?
Pep Boys?

I'd prefer not to have a wild goose chase tomorrow morning

Yeah... they're called zap straps (zip ties if you prefer). So cheap they're almost free.

certain people with certain cars use these to secure whole bumpers. Im pretty sure they can hold up a fender liner

get a self tapping screw or whatever they are called and drill it into some metal near the front end. I did that after i destroyed a whole bunch of clips when i installed my CAI a long time ago.

Friedman brothers hardware store in santa rosa. I know its crazy but I was buying some bolts one day in the fastner area and I saw all fo these plastic clips. I have been going there ever since then. Constant supply...

I've gotten some from lowe's before, they have a pretty good selection of plastic fasteners. Sometimes it's hit or miss.

depends on some parts.... i actually use bolts. they hold way better than those crappy *** plastic clips. on my bumper to front fender for example lol.

I get it, it's an emergency thing. Get yourself a 1/4" drill bit and a wad of black zip ties and poke some holes in the fender liner, add some straps. You can use existing holes on bumpers/fenders so you only need to "violate" your fender liner. Then call your favorite Subaru parts supplier and buy a sack of those things.

BTW: the way I look at "cheaper" for stuff like this is, yeah might be a couple bucks cheaper but that is wiped away if I have to stop what I am doing even once, clean up and go to the store for a return. I order my stuff from Subaru and I would say 95% of the time I just install it, no muss no fuss. To me, less hassle is "cheaper" even if it costs a few bucks more. But that's just me. "Cost" isn't always in cash.
