Go to the electrical section, near where you get the zip ties. Took me a while to find em. Also took me a while to find little plastic plugs fro my tailgate. Unreal how hard is is to find the little "detail" parts.

And I used gorilla glue on my little brackets for the grill mod. Lots of it. Who cares if it bubbles up or whatever. been through 2 winters, no problems, over one and a half years, and every zip tie is still tight and brackets still on.

And i didn't peel any of the self adhesive junk off. just put the gorilla glue on it, worked like a charm. I also kept weight on each bracket over night while the glue dried, then gorilla glued around each bracket. They are on solid.

In addition to using the gorilla glue on the pads, I caulked around the pads with a glue gun the next day. Might be over kill but haven't had any problems with them at all.

i like the gorilla glue idea...do you think that scuffing the area that you glue to on the grille with sandpaper or a wire brush might help to give it something to hold on to?

x2 on what others have said... I got mine at Lowe's right beside where all the zip ties are kept. Goodluck!

Also.... After a month or two, I had to take my grille back off because some of the adhesive on the plastic pieces didn't stick well. Could have been from the hot summer sun or cold nights or whatever.. so I just Krazy glued them and now it's A+
