Under hood trip part fasteners: Part number?

Under hood trip part fasteners: Part number?
I have a series of small, black fasteners that seem to be disappearing on my 2012 FIT. They are these little parts (see pictures attached) that are holding the trim, that directs air from the grill to the engine bay. When you lift the hood, this big rubber piece is on the right.
I bet I could save a little time and cash if I had a part number and could order them on the web, versus going to a dealer.
Anyone have an idea on part number?

I don't have a part number for you, but here's what I ordered...
There are lots of other options on Amazon besides those, but I can say the ones I got are very similar to OEM quality.
With the big bag in my inventory, I now yank them out without hesitation and pitch them in the trash. Also went through and replaced all that were easy to get to just to have new clean ones.

Help with those fasteners
Hello,
New to this site but will likely be back often.
I have a couple of questions please.
1. What IS the name of that rubber under the hood thing on the driver's side?
2. I have the clips. But I don't know how to get them in. Is there a video on YouTube that shows it please?
Thanks!

A number of the engine air intake air Duct clips have broken on our 2013 GE and rather than leaving the Duct askew and hanging down, I removed the Duct in hope of buying new clips at my Dealer. This morning I learned that they have none.
If I leave the Duct off for a week or two while I have 5 Ea new clips on order, will it affect the "driveability" of our Fit in any way? I'm guessing that it may have less cool engine intake air and thus a bit less power, but that the engine would run fine. As y'all know, there's no actual connection between the output end of the Duct and the engine air intake anyway.
What do you think?

Okay, sounds good y'all. Good idea to just buy a mess of clips to have on hand. My kid drove the Fit on a three hour trip yesterday without the duct and reported nothing odd. I will remount it, but in my own time. Thanks.

This information is based on Amazon review. Someone said technicians need to remove air intake duct clips before oil change. I assume this information is correct. Since every time I went to Honda for oil change, I found the air in take duct are missing such clips so it keeps bumping to the hood to make noise while driving home. Luckily I have a box of such clips bought from Amazon cheap so I just insert new ones after arriving home.
[Edited] This is when I went to Honda dealer for basic "B1 service" which includes more than just oil change. Don't know which service they performed needs to take the clips out.

Had a chance to replace some of the missing clips in mine today. The air duct was very dirty. So while it was taken out, I cleaned it up good. Maybe the dealer mess around with the clips as mentioned in previous post to remove the air duct and clean it as well. Can't really see any other reason to mess with them.
The clip size you need is the 8mm diameter ones. Mine came in variety box of different sizes. In the box, I got both the type that allows you to pop it loose again easily, and the other type that locks tight in place and you end up breaking it when trying to remove it.
