Front Bumper molding clips

Does anyone here know how the front bumper molding attaches to the bumper? Is there certain clips I need to get? If so, from where?

if you mean the black impact strip across the bumper the back of the strip has 8 or 10 "studs" molded into the strip that are attached with thread cutting nuts.

This is what your looking for. The name of the part is impact strip retaining nut.

If that link doesn't work. Free Online Catalog Regal, Grand National, T-Type, Limited, CARS, Inc. then click on group 7.

Four of the rubber tits push into a lock type nut that presses into the bumper. They are metal clips that snap into the oval or square shape holes above the park lamps. I dont have a part number as they are discontinued. You need them if you want the strip to be tight against the surface of the bumper.
