I got a grill spacer kit that has what i think is "extra" spacers, one is very thin plastic and one is foam (2 on right in pictures).  What is the order from top to bottom when installingthese spacers and what goes above and below the grill mounting surround and facing what way?

Or do those 2 "extras pieces get used at all?  I have 3 kits (don't ask how I ended up with 3 I don't even know, lol)  and none of the others has these thin spacers or foam piece.

The fsm doesn't show any spacers.  Fig 18 on page 23-35.  In order bolt head, bushing (which is the largest), retainer goes on the bottom, then the clip the screw goes into. 

In other words, the big piece on top, the other piece snaps in other side.  Don't know about the other pieces.

What are the kits worth?
If you wanted to offload one let me know

I had these pieces on my 68 charger(I'm second owner) unrestored car.  When I removed the grille from the metal support its almost like they used them as shims for the plastic piece to fit straight in the support.  Mine were white. :shruggy:
