Where to find body clips and fasteners other than the junkyard?

Long story short, I replaced my header panel today. Since this is one of the few portions of the car that I haven't touched, I wasn't surprised at how half assed of a job was done on it by the previous owner....I only had 1 bolt on one side, and 2 on the other holding the fenders to the nose for starters.....

Anyway, I am trying to find the clips that go on the header panel so I can secure it to the bumper cover. I'll probably just pick up the screws at the hardware store, but I'm SOL without the clips, and finding a 3rd gen Camaro (or Firebird) around here is like finding a winning lottery ticket.

Does anyone sell the clips new? I already ebay'd it and didn't have much luck other than some bolts from brockcamaro.

THANKS fellas! I've never been to any of the autobody shops around town- so I'll have to check at a couple and the link too.....this is the first body project that I've done (aside from primering my 83, but that's another story)- with it being just bolt on and no paint, I figured it couldn't be too hard.

I'll have to check out the one here in town- when is it? I only found last years info.....maybe make a family event out of it.
