Same plastic quality as OEM but fit was off. Make sure correct clips are compatible
Style: 121PCS Clips with Tool for Honda/Acura, Style: 121PCS Clips with Tool for Honda/Acura
I ordered the version:121PCS Push Type Retainer Clips sold by ARKOUNIX. It says it is compatible for the following vehicles: Honda Accord Civic, CR-V, Crosstour, Fit, HR-V, Insight, Odyssey, Passport. It also fits the following Acura models: ILX, MDX, RDX, RLX. UNBOXING: Inside the storage box are 4 different style plush clips and 1 removal tool (pic1). This is a variety pack with 4 different style clips. The thinking being 1 of them have to fit your vehicle. The bad thing is that means 3 of these clip styles will not fit your vehicle and they will have no value for your vehicle. The push clips that I need for my car are the longer style #4 clips (pic3). FIT: The Arkounix brans replacements are on the left (next to the tool) and my car's OEM clips are on the right so you can see how they measure up (pics3-5). These Arkounix clips are close but not an exact match. They are about 2 mm too wide to fit in my bumpers slot. For reference, my car is a Mazda 6. I understand it's not meant to be compatible but they are very similar in picture and I thought it would fit. CONCLUSION: These clips are not sized for a universal fit. This kit has 4 distinct clip sizes that are specifically designed to fit ONLY the car models listed above. If you're hoping that these clips will fit a different make and model, make sure to check the measurements of your OEM clips first. I found out the hard way that just because the clips look similar doesn't make them compatible. A width different of just 2mm was enough to make these replacement clips incompatible with my car. I can say with certainty that these 4 sizes of Arkounix brand clips will NOT fit a Mazda 6, Pontiac G5 or Toyota Corolla because, I tried fitting these clips on both of my neighbor's cars. In conclusion, these clips are made to fit the specific Honda and Acura models listed above, ONLY.

Just get them if you think u need them!
Style: 121PCS Clips with Tool for Honda/Acura
They got just as well as the original ones in my opinion. As long as the place you're putting them in isn't damaged they fit very snug like they're supposed to. Even came with a tool to pry them off with. I already had one before I ordered these but I did appreciate that they came with the tool just in case you don't have one. The tools make the job a lot easier. I feel like I got a good deal. For just a few dollars my car looked a little better and made a little less noise since the piece I put the fastener on would rattle a bit depending on the road but not anymore! If u need these and are wondering wether you should buy them just go for it. You really don't have much to lose and they always come in handy and are good to have around. They also fit on some other cars like Nissan and probably many more too. So far they seem pretty durable but only time will tell and I will update my review if anything should happen but for now, I feel like it was money well spent. Unlike some of my other purchases!

YES THEY ARE WORTH IT !

Spot on! Used it to secure my new grill and bumper for my 97 civic. Nice quality fasteners. Super cheap price. Simple enough to use and the different sizes were clutch for what I needed.

Great for High Mileage Vehicles
Size: 5 Quarts
Reliable synthetic blend for high mileage vehicles. Castrol GTX High Mileage 20W-50 is our go-to oil for older vehicles and high-mileage units in our dealership inventory. The synthetic blend formula provides good protection for engines with significant wear. The 20W-50 viscosity helps reduce oil consumption in higher mileage engines. We've had excellent results using this in trucks and SUVs with over 100k miles. The seal conditioning additives help prevent leaks. Price point is reasonable for a quality synthetic blend. The 5-quart bottles are convenient for standard oil changes. Castrol quality and reputation you can trust. Solid choice for keeping high-mileage vehicles running strong.
