Fender Flare Rivets
Am i crazy, or does $2 per fender flare rivet seem a little excessive? Just replaced one of my textured fenders with a black painted fender, and only broke one of the Christmas Tree fasteners. When I got to the rivets, it just seemed like a lot of work to get them out and after doing so, wasn't really sure how to reuse them to get a tight fit.
My thought, why not just order new ones off eBay. How much could they be??? It appears that the going rate is $2 a pop, x 24 rivets, that is almost $50!!
Has anyone found them cheaper? Has anyone found cheaper suitable replacements?
Found these but not sure if they will work

Suggestions?

Here you go... Plus price match if you find them cheaper, but this is what you're looking for. The Mopar replacement is going to run roughly 2.00 each like you've found already. The link posted above, those probably won't work unless you intend on opening up the holes. They measure .47" (11.9 mm) whereas the proper rivet is just above 6 mm.
