little clips on the front plastic plate?
this is probably the wrong place to post but ive looked everywhere and called the dealership and cant find any. but anyway... do you know those little clips you pop in the put the plastic screw in to secure it? it holds most of the front end together i noticed. i just need 2 of them... ive been to all the part stores and the dealership here. no one has them or can order them. the dealership said the only way to get them is to order a whole new panel for just behind the bumper on top. the other day i took it off, cut the panel to put a pre-runner on and in the process of removing them, i stripped the screws so i just took the easy way out and drilled through the center and popped them out. i managed to salvahe one but the screw is long gone. does anyone have a few of them lying around? ill gladly pay whatever it takes to get a few.. i just cant believe the dealership cant get them.
I jsut replaced them with push style pins. Does the job. NAPA auto parts should have boxes of them. Takes some time to hunt for them, but it works.
Are you speaking of the small ones that go in the fenders? Those are rivets. you can buy them but need a rivet gun for it. I broke one of mine and used a push style and its working very well.
If youre talking about the ones like the ones that hold the front grille on, then you can use a push style there as well. Or screw in type fastener.

he's talking about the 2 that hold on the long thin plastic piece that fills the gap between the stock bumper and the bottom of the grille. i recommend taking the one that's still good into an auto parts store and finding one of a similar size. they should have quite a few to choose from. i thought i had lost mine when i i took that piece off but luckily a found them right before running out to find replacements. i know i have seen a bunch of similar plastic fasteners at advance auto parts or auto zone. just do some comparison shopping and i'm sure you'll find what you need. worse comes to worst, you could use some 3/16" toggle bolts with fender washers on top. paint em black and you should be golden. still probably cheaper than buying em from the dealer, even if you could find the right part #. good luck

When I did the Grill Mod I lost one of the plastic clips and was able to find them at a Advance Auto, They had the exact match, They were listed by manufactuer, Not jeep but Chrysler cost me $2 for 6 of them.
