Uncontroversial statement: plastic trim clips are the worst. I've got a bag of more-or-less generic Chinese spares to replace the ones I inevitably break every time I take the fairings off, but... is there a better way? Has anyone found/made a good set of, let's say, hex-head bolts or some other kind of useful replacements for the OEM trip clips? '02 VTEC, EU-spec, if it makes a difference.
