Spring clips
I have a 2012 ford f250 Lariat. While installing a new headlight bulb, I noticed that 2 of the steel spring clips that hold the lower part of the center grill are broken. Went to the "stealer" to order a couple. Guess what? they don't offer it. WHAT?????? you have to buy the whole grill.
Wonder if anyone knows of a source or part number for these clips. I've been searching for 3 days now. If any of you have any spares from perhaps upgrading please contact me, as I don't like the idea of not having my grill fully secured.
Send me a private message if you have some you'd sell.

Sorry, you are correct, I should have posted where I found them. Actually found them on ebay (Super Duty Special Grill Grille Clip # N808307S100). They are listed for ford excursion, but as the full description says, they will fit the f250/350 and 450.

I can believe it. At some point they have to stop breaking out the parts and sell it as an assembly

I can understand having to break out the parts, but these clips are a standard item on various models, and actual common hardware. I'm convinced that it's just a way for them to make more money.
