Which ones are you after? Engine cover (small ones with a + screw mark); body (larger ones which you need a flat head screwdriver to pop the top rivet off) or bonnet (to hold your insulation on) ?
I have ones and twos as spares, but if you need heaps, then it doesn't really make much sense to get it from me

They are all about $2 a pair from Subaru IIRC, i had to get some for the air intake guide on my old gt, that will be your easiest bet as they will have heaps in stock because the clips etc are used on quite a few different models.

Yeah I should head down some day to Subaru, as about 5 of mine are snapped in certain areas.
Also of note, every single insulation clip I took off from the bonnet, all are unusable.
Was anyone elses like that, if anyone else has taken off that sound insulation stuff under the hood?

I managed to salvage some of mine. They are very brittle.
