    Any suggested fixes for torn bolt holes
    I’m reinstalling the “pie shaped” pieces underneath the front fascia on driver & passenger sides. Is there some rubberized epoxy or something to repair these torn holes?

    Also, I'm looking for the part number for the following “clips” used to attach the front fascia (on the rear center section) to the body in the center.

      Bondo makes a rubberized epoxy "bumper repair" that retains the necessary flex for a plastic bumper. I'm not sure how it does in tension, though. If you go that route, I'd suggest adding a steel or aluminum mesh and then covering that in epoxy and drilling the hole for the retainer. I'm assuming you're talking about the ones up underneath the radiator area?

          NAPA - ask for the fastener book, and match.

            To do it properly it's a LOT of steps and products for what seems like a small repair, but worth it if you want an OEM look. Honestly for the area under the bumper you're talking about I'd recommend a more crude way of fixing the tears if you can't still clip the triangle pieces to the bumper since it's an area you don't really see. If you're still interested in doing it properly 3M makes several adhesive plastic tab repair products.

              Began working on front fascia pieces the other day. Repaired the 2 underside pieces (pics attached - edge view & back view) using some JB Weld for Plastics "Semi-Flexible" seems to have worked pretty well. Very easy to use. Rubber Bumper cover Repairs are Next. Guess I'll try that Flexible Bondo as recommended. Thanks for the help!
