Bumper Quick release clips

[KAs14slider]

Hi guys, I was trying to find a place where I can get those quick release bumper fasteners for easy removal of aero. Anyone know where I can get something like that or maybe a good lowes or home depot equivalent. These are what I am talking about: (picture of MS!3 's car)

[eastcoastS14]

u could probably make them urself with shit from home depot

[ThatGuy]

Have you gone to Home Depot or Lowe's and looked?

[unicoladron]

they appear to be toolbox latches. found on those diamond plate pickup truck tool boxes and regular portable tool boxes.

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

zipties works you know!

please post more info thats what i was interested in those plastic clips not those metal latches.

[lflkajfj12123]

you just drill holes and put the clips in it and wrap zipties around it

done and done

Wrong!!! My buddy has those latches on his front/rear bumper and his carbon hatch on his fastback.Never had a problem with em.:D

still looks like ass

These guys usually have a great assortment of Race car latches and fastners.
I'm thinking they should have something similar to what you are looking for.

[k's_silvia2.0]

Says you:mephfawk:

[ThatGuy]

still looks like ass

So do the one's you posted. Any external fastener looks like ass.

Just ziptie your shit at the stock bolt holes, or don't be a lazy-ass when it's time to remove your aero.

[lflkajfj12123]

crawling under the bumper to re ziptie them is too much work :ghey:

external zipties for the quickness

and you when your car is lowered so much that you have to roll it onto 2x4's to even get a jack under it to take off the aero

external zipties save time and its not a pain in the ass to work on your car as much

[ms!3]

hmm never saw this thread. lowes and home depot don't carry the latches. i picked them up at a local hardware store. work for me.

Ima have to say that is a good point..

[jackjack]

clips look bad imo. i'd just stick to zipties.

Looks like what you did is drill 2 holes on the panel, and one on the bumper.put bolts in em. then zip tied them around the bolts.. and zip tied were your supose to bolt them behind the rear wheel right?

[240trainee]

I think you use rubber bands for those janks.

I used to have a bumper with clips like the OP

my bumper got taken off and my IC stolen.

something to think about, if it's easy for you, it's easy for others too.

hahaha, yeah i would never consider leaving my car out in the open if I had those style latches. Learned that back in junior high when quick releases on bike seats were all the craze, had to stand up the whole way home.

or they'll steal the bumpers and modify them on their civics :hyper:

i lol'd at work hahahah

i took my seat off and put it in my locker

soapgun, on both the front and rear bumper, how many actual mount points are there?...it seams like the rear could get easily ripped off. did you ever have a problem with like a curb pulling one off or just high speed?

ive also got 2 of the 4 bolts holding it in the center of the rad support. just to line it up with the hood. Im not really worried about the pignose anyways, haha.

So did I.

They ripped that shit off.

I dunno, still like how it looks though, hard as nails.

i wanna know more on this setup. where can i get those and some close up pics. i hate taking all the dam bolts off just to take the bumpers off.

[Secretsquirrel]

i already told you. They are SRR.

[KAs14slider]

Dude, IIIXziuR. Thanks for posting that pegasus racing link. Lots of cool stuff on there. I am probably getting these:
http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecId=777.
They were exactly what I am looking for.
And yeah, I know what you guys are talking about when you say you wouldn't want to leave your car in the open with these. Fortunatley I live in a small PA town with basically zero crime except the occasional convenience store robbery and tons of DUI's (college town, haha). An hour away on the other hand is a town where you can't leave your car anywhere cuz shit gets stolen all the time no matter how nice or shitty your car looks.

[SlideWell]

they are referred to as "zeus clips." at least here in seattle ;)

[smelly240]

ur thinking of DZUS BUTTONS/CLIPS -- lol zues - i mean thats how its pronounced - but its spelled dzus.

http://www.kenlowe.com.au/body_hardware.htm

those are different - i have dzus buttons on a heat shield i made for my brakes... so i can get the downpipe off easier.

[IIIXziuR]

I like the external latches for track cars, it looks all business!
Hope you find that link useful OP

[rob_s13]

me and my buddy did it on s13 (track car) thers guna be this fender support that you probably need to cut off ( with it the clips kept breaking open)

stupid idea for a street car

[yokotas13]

not relaly
i used them on my 180, made it super easy to take off the bumper, which i had to do alot

[ms!3]

stupid idea for a street car

i dont follow. its very helpful for low cars. i have to remove my bumper every time i jack the car up.

like grant said, which is alot.

[sblack13]

I must be missing the point, but what are the real advantages over zipties? Zipties never fail me.

[SlideWell]

Thanks! :doh:

it can get real old real quick cutting zipties off if, lets say you have massive incline for a driveway like i have before. i suppose it could put a dent in the average joes pocket too, i mean hey, some people live for the dollar menu, haha

[RedSVTFlareside]

Not a bad idea. I've been trying to come up with a good way of removing my bumper quickly for loading on a trailer or jacking up from the front. I don't think I'll use the toolbox latches though. I'd probably rather use the 1/4 turn locking fasteners.

[bejota180sx]

ive been trying to come up with something like this for a long time that doesnt look so bad and is safe for street use... my driveway sucks i had to raise my height because of it and all the contruction going on in my town theyre holes everywhere
took of my rs*r low springs and had to go with eibach pro kit and IT STILLS SCRAPES IN MY DRIVEWAY!!! damm...

[sijia10358]

i still think ziptieds are better! easy to buy, easy to put on and it wont rip your bumper when u hit a cone...but the only bad thing is..if your bumper hit a cone itll look ugly...just look at my signature...

[Matej]

I haven't had a front bumper on my car since last summer.

[undesiredshoe]

Someone should come up with a magnetic latch design. You would put magnets on your fender where the bolts would go and magnets on your bumper. The magnets would become electronically magnetized when you press a button, wireless, of course. Thus you can just hold up your bumper to the desired location, press the button, and boom, your bumper is attached.

Maybe after that would be magnetic lug nuts?

hahahaha. Not the greatest idea

[KAs14slider]

Yeah, I actually just ordered a pair of dzus latches for my front bumper. My car is not too terribly low but I do take off my bumper frequently. And putting zip ties on and cutting them off is kind of a pain after a while. With these latches it will make taking the bumper on and off extremely easy and fast. And hey, while this may sound like something a super cheap ass person would say, eventually you will save money on zip ties, haha.

[!Zar!]

Are all of you really that lazy to where you can't spend five minutes to ziptied your whole car?

Using zipties is the easiest and cheapest way to attach body parts.

Why go through the hassle of yanking a bumper off when you want to jack your car up? that's dumb.

Two pieces of wood or whatever you choose roll up on it and you're done.

Don't be cheap dumb and lazy.

[SimpleSexy180]

cheap? we dont want to be cheap. its about spending money on something of better quality? right right right?

funny, I was thinking it would be easier to pop 4 or 6 clips/latches and take the bumper off.

[undesiredshoe]

But it would be easiest to press a button and have magic hold your bumper on.

Cheap as in lazy and making your car not look to it's fullest.

Better yet, just run with no bumper!

Ugh. Using zipties will allow it to look like it fits if you have half a brain and also allows said body part to eject in case of an accident or hitting something.

If you had half an ability to drive you wouldn't hit things.:) When are zip ties not the answer? Some people don't want their car sewn together with zip ties. Some people don't want their car to have stretched tires. Some people don't want their car to have sleepy eyes. I really don't see an agreement happening.

So what happens when your bumper hits the ground? What happens when you dirt drop?

I'm talking about things that happen at the track every time. Lord forbid you accidentally go off track. Which EVERYONE does.

[bejota180sx]

its a pain in the ass havin to cut and put in zipties evertime i come in my driveway at least thats my problem... when i track it zipties are the best way to go and F*** latches in that case...

[SoSideways]

That hatch looks mad pissed off.

[240trainee]

Completly random, but what size tires did he end up going with?

recap of this thread in basic:

10 PRINT "latches are cool"
20 PRINT "latches are gay, zip ties are cool"
30 PRINT "latches are easier to take off"
40 PRINT "don't be a fag"
50 GOTO 10

nah... it'll be fine.

[its a kia]

in one of the old grip videos, the episode where they talked about the yellow GTO drift car being built

they showed clips that were internal, so you couldnt see them so the car looked clean, but the host said that you just pop the latches with a flathead or whatever in the seems of the bumpers, is that a product or was that just custom made?

again talking about the internal clips, not the external

would like to get latches to make it easier when working on the car, but dont want them to be seen

[Kaifd3s]

Any more info on the latches? I really want to get a set the same as this car's. Also what front is that?

I ended up color matching them and you can hardly see them...
