Default Underhood fasteners

Can anyone tell me the official name and part number if available to the plastic fasteners that hold the underhood trim plates in place? Mine are missing most of the bases and I'd like to replace them but I'm having no luck. I found them once on e-bay but I completely forget what I typed in to find them.

Thanks! But upon further research I've determined these are el'crapol'a (esp at $8 U.S a pop for the base) I'm going to figure a better less $, more long lasting way to attach them.

Yeah, you look at 'em the wrong way and they break. I got tired of buying them so I now use "J" nuts and sheet metal screws.

I'll be doing the same when I install my under-the-radiator splah pan.....after I'm done repairing it. Broke the darn thing right off the car trying to use my XJR like a snow plow .
It was originally held on by about 20 plastic pin fastners....grrrr.


Cheers
