Replacement Push Pins

I don't like starting new threads, but I couldn't find any information.
Does anyone know where I can get the plastic push pins that you use for either:
1. Holding the grill surround: I believe there are only two here, but there are more like it elsewhere.
2. The plastic pins holding the mudflaps on.

I've searched online, and in my local autoparts store, but I can't find any that seem to work. I've tried a few different ones.
If I get a chance to later, I will take some pictures if need be.

I appreciate your help.

Another thing to do is to hit up your local hardware store and look for some nylon rivets that look similar to what hold your grille on, this is what I did instead of going to the dealer for a measly $0.10 part. I know I've seen these type of fasteners at automotive stores as well, they may not look identical but they will serve the same purpose.

I had to replace 2 on my rear mud flap a few weeks ago. Got them from the stealership for like $2.50 each.

Thanks guys, I'll try to avoid the dealership if I can, I guess I'll try different stores, the autoparts store I tried didn't have what I was looking for. Is the correct name nylon rivets, push pins or what?
The ones Im using now are ok, but they aren't nearly as tight as I'd like them to be, they're pretty much place holders right now.
