I had my underdrive pulleys installed last night, and the car was up on a lift. While it was up I was looking around underneath, see if anything was out of order. While checking out the rear bumper I noticed along both sides of the cover two brackets with holes, and corresponding holes in the bumper cover. I assume these are for either bolts or those snap in connectors to attach the cover to the brackets. However, not one of the four mounting holes in my car has a connector in it. So, my question is, since I don't have access to another Marauder for awhile, what is used to connect the bumper cover to these brackets? Is it nuts and bolts, or some of those snap/push in connectors? How weird that mine is missing all of them, of course that is not something I would think of to check.

I believe they are the snap in rivets. You can pick them up at any FLAPS Friendly / Favorite Local Auto PArts Store).
