At that rate I am surprised you didn't just bounce it off somebody in the US, probably would have been cheaper too.

Got some more info on those clips today.

As we know, they are pretty expensive. Alero’s have 7 of them that hold the appliqué on the trunk lid between the tail lights (along with two nuts). Every one of them is easily accessed from inside the trunk lid so they can be released without damaging them. Anyone that has access to a self-pull yard should be able to easily get these.

These are used on:
Alero 1999-2004
Aurora 1995-1999
Bonneville 2000-2005

I haven’t been able to get to an Aurora to see how many/how easily removed they are.

These flexible led strips are pretty nice. You have to be careful because they make them that fire forward and straight up.

These clips are available on eBay for 9.00 each plus 3.00 shipping for up to 4. I received a couple today and they are just as advertised.
