Can someone tell me what size the plastic push pins are that hold the fender flares on?  I guess i really need to know the hole diameter more than anything.  Thanks in advance!

I use these 8mm which are slightly tight in the holes but work fine so I am guessing the OEs and a fraction under 8mm. They also have a slightly larger in diameter top to the base and center and a little more rounded. Nicer look.

Awesome!  Thanks for the reply.  I figured they were probably the 8mm size but I wanted to be sure before I ordered them.

And get the tool/s to take them out, too. I love these things for how they stay in; and HATE them for what a PITA they are to remove...

I bought the 100 pack of the type that were listed in the 2nd post (i think).  It was only like $6 and thats DIRT cheap compared to buying them at Autozone or some other car place.

Agree with you Chuddly, I did the same thing, I think I paid $8 bucks for a hundred or something.

It might have been $8.  I really don't remember but I know it was single digit and super cheap.  Also they work great. They might be just a hair tighter in the holes than the factory ones but I have never not gotten one to work
