Random plastic bits

My 02 WRX is starting to show some wear and tear, and a few of the plastic bits have fallen off. Is there a source for

1) one of the plastic ***** for the stock solenoid cover (that rectangle near the passenger-side strut)

2) those rivet-like plastic fasteners that hold on the trunk liner (need 4-6 of these + tool to install them)

3) the weird little screw cover that fits the bare screws below the black plastic piece that is near the lock plate for the rear trunk -- I may need to take a picture

4) rubber/plastic plugs for holes (probably used during assembly) on front and rear doors

Does anyone stock random crap like this, or will I have to find a wrecked car or beg at the dealer parts shop?

You can get all that from subaruparts.com and subaruwrxparts.com.

Note: Some of the plastic screw covers were "missing" from the factory, such as the square ones on the 3rd brake light cover on the wrx wagon...

I somehow misplaced my solenoid cover once and ordered a new one with the plastic screw thingies from one of the above sites.

Those plastic bits are expensive, five bucks each at your dealer and that's if they even have them in stock.

You'll save money if you just zip tie that cover in place.

As much as I appreciate the mendacity and penny-pinching nature of the ghetto fix, I can't stand the way it looks. I'm cheap but also vain, and vain wins

Actually, I checked the parts place recommended and was able to get all the parts I need for under $10.00, so I'm pretty happy about that. I do plan on using zip ties to fasten on my brake ducts, however, as no one will see those and I'm not paying $22 for 12 fasteners
