I replaced the front bumper on my '96 a few months ago with a horrible chinese copy from ebay. I don't have fog lights, and my old bumper had some plastic plugs that go in the fog light holes. The new bumper didn't come with these, and is already starting to rust around the holes. Where can I buy these things? What are they called?

Duct tape? Look at the 'Help' stuff in Home Depot, Ace, Checker, Autozone or whereever; I seem to recall a selection of rubber/plastic plugs at the auto stores but similar things somewhere in the vast area of bins at the hardware store as well.

If its already rusting then some plugs arn't going to do you much good. Your going to need to clean it and repaint those small rusty spots.

The actual plus are probabloy dealer-only, but you can get black plastic "barb" fittings for attaching trim in a variety of sizes at any of the auto parts stores, and use cheapie self-threading nuts to hold them in place.
I agree, if rust has started you should de-rust and paint the edges of the holes with something before installing the plugs.

clean it with Comet or Ajax and cover it with clear fingernail polish.
