Speed Nuts

I'm about to put on the front clip. Which speed nuts do I need for the fender trim(s)?

Thanks

Go to your autobody supply store and buy the assortment box. You will need at least 2 different sizes, maybe more. And it's cheaper than buying little packs of 3-6 nuts individually. I believe even Horrible Freight has them.

[. I'll look eBay..thank you. The rear (By the windshield trim piece(es) had old adhesive. Should I dab some on the studs before I assemble? Do things rattle if not?

Those will work, if the right size. The stuff on the nuts is not adhesive. more like a sealer, so water does not enter through the holes. I use "strip caulk", rolled into a donut shape, and put it both on the clip, and on the washer of the nut, to sandwich the hole with sealer. Here's the assortment:
