I'm trying to install some '97-'98 Kouki side skirts on my '96 Zenki. But I'm missing these clips needed to install them. The Nissan part number for the clips are 76500J and 76897EA. Illustration picture:



The dealership is asking too much for these, does anyone know where else I could get these from? Looked around but couldn't find them... Any help would be great. Thanks.

also, a autozone / kragen / checker kind of place might have some generic ones that could work

Nissan is asking way too much for these and I couldn't find them at any auto parts store or any auto body store. I know someone has to carry these...

To the OP, I'd recommend buying one example of the fastners you need from the dealer then attempting to match them to something on this website, http://autobodyclips.com/index.php?Search=Nissan+. I'm sure this place will be far cheaper than the $2+ per clip that the dealer is trying to charge, which is rediculous. Hope this helps and I'm sure its an easy to get part because it's been used on many different nissan models.

With comments like that you'ld think think this was a BMW forum. We're 240 enthusiasts, of course we want to be cheap. Have a better day.

$2 per clip?

wow, a sad day.

I can't believe somebody is allowed to own one of these vehicles if they cannot afford pocket change for some clips.

Just so everyone that doesn't know what they are talking about is aware, it's not $2 per clip! It's more like $3-$6 for one end of the clip and $9-$16 for the other end of the clip. The Nissan dealership told me it's gonna be around $300 for the clips (tax not added yet). I need 16 clips (8 on each side). So no, I'm not being cheap. I don't wanna spend more then I did on the side skirts for these clips. I know other have found these clips for cheaper at other places so that's what I'm trying to figure out, where they bought them from.

I've found them from Courtesy Nissan for a lot less than that, but still a lot for clips. You're right though, it was $2.31 for one side but the other, which I didn't check or mention in my post, is $7.31 per clip.

here's a link to what I found, http://www.courtesyparts.com/7....html

http://www.courtesyparts.com/7....html

If you can't find these anywhere other than the dealer at least this will be cheaper than your local rip off artist, aka dealer.

For all clips you came out to $153.28 and Courtesy have always been great to deal with.

Sorry for any confusion I brought to this thread.
