I used rivits on mine and just painted them black, you can't even see them and it looks great and original.

You are probably talking about a PEM nut. Take a look at their site to see if this is what you want.

Are you talking the outer or inner grill? If inner, Chevy duty has a kit to install them.

If outer, I bought bolt type rivets from Lutty's Chevy parts. They look like a factory rivet from the top but have a nut on the bottom.
