    You mean these: IMG_3851.jpg
    Best to go OEM for those. After market brands always fell out on the road for me. OEM stays in place

    I think those are called grill fillers. I am seeing them on eBay for about $13 (for my '03.)

    Thank you for the quick reply.
    These are the only clips attached.
    I wasn't sure if all were the same size.

    The other clip holders don't look the same.

    Most of the middle clip holders look broken.

    Those broken tabs are locators, the clips will still hold the grill. You’ll hear the clips snap in. Hold the grill until all the clips line up then gently press it in, you might need to press in around each clip to engage them

    I’ll take a look at my grill for the bottom clips, I don’t remember them

    Here are better pics.
    Since I don't have any other clips I won't know until tomorrow when the ones I ordered come in.
    Thanks very much for the assistance!
