Default Correct Fasteners Help!

What kind of fasteners attach the rear bumper to the core (underneath) on my 79 Trans Am? They look like push in plastic?

That's right!
Hard plastic (amber) & very difficult/tricky to remove without breaking them.
Your local bodyshop supply SHOULD have something similar in appearance that will work in stock.

They are what they look like, plastic push in.
Use to be dealer or auto body supply item, last ones I got from local auto parts.

I suppose it would be called a truss head push in retainer pin.
Make sure you figure out the lenth (under head) & diameter that you need.
