The carparts.com people wont ship stuff like clips. Ud have to buy the lip or more likely buy the whole bumper. They sell sections of cars not just pieces. I tried to get a shift boot and the plastic trim around the gauge cluster but they said I would have had to buy the entire cluster or entire shifter.

The lips are even lighter than I thought they'd be too. I'm 99% sure the double sided 3M tape will do most of the job if I don't get clips that are perfectly snug. Gotta be something like these at Princess or Peavy Mart or something.

car-parts.com, is purely a website for a network of dismantlers;
it would be up to the individual dismantlers as to if they would sell/ship clips separately - the website would have absolutely no say in this.

FWIW, the paint on my lips is done for a total of $210, it looks absolutely flawless and looks like a perfect match the paint on my roof which is basically clean, my bumpers are covered in dirt so I can't really set them next to it for a comparison. Very happy with it... will see how it holds up.

then again if neither AV or NAPA have something, there's always P&P... or maybe you know someone who can help you out (hint, hint).
considering the last item I looked at buying from GM was hardware which came out to roughly $10/ea ~ I'd use that as an absolute last recourse.

I'm always game for hanging out... being a relative latecomer to the Calgary-Cobalt/Delta scene I'm pretty sure I've never met you.
How's the Beretta coming along?
I take it you're moving "up"??
Is it safe to assume you'll have a garage?

sounds good!! no ive never met you, i actually havent met many of the new guys!! im an OG... haha
slow... too cold to work on out in the garage i have now.. need a heater.. all interior is out.. shifter assembly will be out soon, so i can put in the 5 spd assembly.. need to put front suspension back together to move it.. but once in the new place i can pull it apart again and get the 5 spd tranny in...
not necessarily "UP".. still renting but cheaper so gives me a bit more room to save to buy next year.. looking at buying a vette in the next year and 1/2....

Oh man today sucks.
I left the light on in my car all night, so it died. After boosting it I went for a drive, I'd been suspicious my clutch has been slipping for a couple weeks now and it DIED hard today. Does ANYONE here know someone or have the knowledge to replace clutches here cheaper than the dealer? I don't have a lift or anything to be able to do it myself. I'm fairly car savvy but this one is going to be beyond me. Cheapest I've found is $800 and I bring the clutch.
I had to absolutely limp home from the north side
