Bumper clips, holds the wrap-around bumper at the wheel wells.

Contractors at the post office left about 3/4" of rebar sticking out of the parking blocks, just enough to catch the bottom of my bumper as I was backing up. :cuss:

I did the same at Lowes this summer, and damn near tore my front cover off an Accord. It had a few deep scratches from previous encounters, and it's still not fixed correctly. I did buy a variety box of 100+ body clips off Amazon for under $15. They wanted like $5 a piece at the local parts store. So at least it's mounted securely...Just needs some paint work. Or buy an aftermarket one off EBay already painted for under $300. It's a 2008 so that makes the most sense. Or paint it myself. Or rubberized undercoat hides all kinds of things! ;)
