Were just gonna have to find out huh, if they suck I will just stick to zip ties...

[chmercer]

they release if you hook your bumper on a rock or whatever. stronger than zipties though, but they arent gonna mess up your bumper if it rips off. they were rubber boat latches

[Vatche]

hahahah i had a million zip ties on my car and i dont have any sort of body kit anything...so yeh they have slowly been removed and consolidated over time :) took me time to fix certain things on the car

Well I'm probably going to get a couple sets of these (http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecId=779), my friend is rolling (I wont lie) a riced out civic and I have a stockish body miata so one on each side should do I think.

dont run that plastic eye sore......and dont get those spring loaded latches either those suck ass... they always come apart..

[chmercer]

dzus fasteners are absolute crap

[infinitexsound]

dzus works i prefer latches....... but latches can be an eye sore at times...

[sileighty silly]

couldnt somebody unlath those and walk off with your bumber?? just a thought

[chmercer]

yeah

sombody could unlock my hoodpins and steal my plug wires too

also they could stick a coathangar in my window and open my door and unbolt the door and steal it

also my steering wheel comes off

uhhhhhhhhh??????????????????????????? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

lol

but yeah dzus fasteners are a COMPLETE bitch to line up right, takes so long to install. i liked the rubber latches when i had them, harder to pop them loose than a zip tie but they would still pop loose if you drug somthing hard, where as the solid metal latches would just rip a hole in your bumper. i dont run them anymore though, new bumper is just on with zipties and screws.

Basicly yea, but how many thieves are going around look for attractive front bumpers to steal, IMO if the thief wanted my bumper that bad he would take it latches or not.
