    I opened the hood today to install the Carbon Fiber logo and noticed that the plastic cover sitting on top of the radiator was loose. That's when I noticed that the 2 clips holding the plastic cover were broken.

    Is there a place to get them cheap? The dealer quotes $2.40 per clip.

    Autozone has a section for clips

    The clips appear to have been damaged when I did the DIY Horn upgrade. (Horn Upgrade --- DIY | PriusChat)
    They seemed to have held up for 6 months after but subsequently broke.
    I did end up taking the car to the dealership and they replaced the 2 clips for free under warranty. ;)
