    For those of you who have removed and reinstalled your front fascia, what type of plastic rivet gun did you use and where did you get it?

    I need to replace my front wheel well liners and the support bracket that's riveted to the upper part of the fascia on the pass. side

    I have all of the parts, I just need to get the right rivet gun.

    Thanks in advance.

    No rivet gun needed.

    You can save those fasteners if you are careful. Otherwise goto Pep Boys, Autozone or whatever (Napa) and purchase a baggy of new fasteners. You can go to the dealer for them, but I think they charge $5 a piece. WTF?

    I get mine from my Painter free of charge. lol

    Thanks Ron. Some of the rivets popped out and went MIA when the fascia got caught on a parking curb.

    I would still need a rivet for the bracket that's mounted to the upper part of the fascia unless the push pins would hold it in place?

    They are all push pin fasteners.

    I have replaced all of my fasteners on the front fascia with bolts. ;)

    Not sure on the thread size, but the hex is a 6mm.
