Replacing Grille Trim with Broken clips

Good morning


So last summer I removed my grille trim and plasti-dipped it black. Like a total noob of course I broke a few clips from the top piece. It has been holding on for dear life just fine. Many car washes and many Rallies later, it looks like its coming off. I was driving spiritedly and the trim was flying and holding on to my car.


Anyways, I've decided to stop being a cheap *** and I'm gonna buy these guys. My question is, will I need replacement clips for the ones I broke on the car?


I saw some "clip replacement kits" over at OutMotoring. The kits came with clips and other items. They had a Kit A and Kit B not sure if I should pick one up.


Anyone here replaced broken clips?


thanks
G

Look at the pics on the back, it comes with clips for the top on the hood. The bottom comes with built-in tabs
