Ok, I have my eyebrows back from the plater, but I can't determine how to install them. I've got lots of clips, but which ones do you use for the eyebrows? I guess I should check the parts dealers? But before I do, does anyone have pics of the proper clips?

Mine installed with those capture nuts, not clips. They had studs on them that went through holes in the fender. I thought they were all like that.

Nuts like these:

Now that I think about it, the studs are the clips. They slide on or something. I will take a picture of my trim tomorrow if no one else has helped out by then.

Ok. Is there a special stud to use in the eyebrow to bolt the trim to the fender? I bet I'll have to take my inner fender out to get those on too!

I did not have to take my inner fender out to take mine off or install them. I edited my last post, I think that stud is a slide on type deal.

Thanks for your help! Looks like I'll need 3 for each side.

I ran out to the garage quick, here are pictures of the clips/studs on my 68 trim.

Here's what you need for each side
