Replacement plastic screw rivets-need source/part numbers

The plastic screw rivets that hold the black cowling on top of the radiator (pictured below) and other components "dry out" over a period of time and become brittle (break), as I'm sure you know. Some of the smaller sizes can be found at Lowe's; however, I haven't been able to locate the 2 larger ones (radiator cowling) anywhere, including online. Besides a Lexus dealer, does anyone know the part numbers for these various screw-in rivets and a source? Thanks................

I had one missing and the dealer replaced it at no charge while I was in for service.

Are you talking about part number 90467-08155 illustrated in the attached diagram? I've never found an online discount Lexus parts seller that sells plastic trim rivets like this -- always had to get them from a Lexus dealer.

Have you checked with any auto parts stores? Some have a fair assortment these days. Yes, they might not be exactly the same but may be close enough.

How much are they from Lexus if I may ask? They cannot be that much can they?

I had to buy a few of these from the dealer - something like $2 a piece. I hate these fasteners, they jump out of my hand and fall into unreachable crevices or just fall and disappear like they hit antimatter.
