If you are talking about the 3 holes in the splash guard (in the rear wheel well), I believe they are plastic push-ons. But others can confirm this. I had to take them off a couple of times for belt and alternator work.
The inner fender splash guards are plastic nuts. Mine is currently disassembled if anyone needs details. Perhaps you mean the yellow plastic retainers for the belly pan/under panel?
