Bumper problems
So I do have a bodykit on my FD. My front bumper is hanging off a little bit now on the driver side. My question is does anyone know of a better way to hold my bumper in place other than good old fashion bolts.

What's wrong with bolts? You an use a nutsert to add threads to fibreglass if necessary.

Dzeus fasteners?

I think the bolt is just stripped or something the bumper is hanging a little bit. And also I'd like to have an easier way to take off the front bumper especially if I ever need to tow it you know.

Ill have to look into those fasteners too. Thanks dude. I did see these one clamps for the bumper though, they were pretty long and on both corners on the bumper. You know what those are by any chance?

And then a zip tie fails while you are on the freeway, sending your body panel into traffic, causing a collision.
