Yeah so the topic basically says it all. First off, last year me and my friend re did my headliner, however when we took the side panels and everything off the clips that you jam into the frame broke. So theres no side panels along the doors, the headliner is coming down already because the adhesive we used sucked. Yes I applied a TON on and it's made for headliners specifically. Let's see, my knobs for my heating/AC controls all fell out awhile ago, so I have one chilling next to me when I drive and use it as a universal knob LOL. I swear every bolt on my dash board is missing. Therefore the part where my speedometer is, is halfway off. And If i wanted to right now I could probably just tug a little bit and everything on the dashboard would come off. So yeah, it's pretty Sh**&*tty :( I don't really expect any advise on the dashboard, because I figure just new bolts will fix that. However I need a way to put on my side panels, and redo my headliner. I probably want to get a whole new foam part for my headliner. Someone please help!
 
Hit the junkyard. Best place for little things like those interior panel push clips and such. The dealer charges too much and usually has to special order them. The ones on the miscellaneous small parts carousel at the parts stores often don't fit well and are prone to popping out. Depending on who's working the counter at the junkyard they might not even charge you for a handful of clips.

Very much agreed. It may take you a couple trips to the junk yard and a couple different cars, but you will be able to find almost new looking parts with a little luck. Everytime I needed to go to the junk yard I would make a list of the small parts I needed. This way when you get there you don't forget the small knob you need or some screws. Most of the time when I went to the junk yard I showed the owner my handful of little parts and he said just take them. They usually don't care about the little parts since most of the time people put them in their pockets anyway. Sometimes being honest pays off in the end.
