They are called Christmas Tree Clips or Panel Clips. You can go down to the dealership or order bulk on ebay. I am not sure how to go about getting the specific size and color other than going to the dealership, or finding a part number somewhere and ordering it online. Good luck...

PS...funny story really, I was talking about these damn clips today and how much they completely suck, and sure enough here you are...

Every Autozone and Advance Auto Parts sells them in packs of different sizes for around $1.99. I keep an assortment in my garage since I always seem to need one when I work on any of my cars.

They are easily reused. Just pull out on the center part and then slide the whole pin out. You pryed it out before pulling the center part didn't you?
