Front bumper access mod
How did you guys do it?
My front bumper is currently off the car because i had to get it towed somewhere. i won't be putting it back on until i'm able to find some way to modify it where I have easy access to attach and remove it. I've seen some locals do it with clips and such, but i have no idea. I'd like to make it look clean, and not have my bumper fall off as i drive. |

Ive seen some people use almost like toolbox latches, where you literally just unlatch your bumper like the way you do your tool box. VERY VERY handy for track driving when your loading up your car or even if you need to get to something fast..
I wanted to do it to my car how ever when i did my front end conversion .. the lower half of the bumper isnt solid so i had to make braces that just bolt right into the bumper.... But otherwise i would have done it !!!

I've been considering getting a set of those. If you have an OEM bumper, the studs handle all of the alignment (assuming S13) so you just need something to hold the bumper in place. Up top, it's just a few 10mm bolts which take all of 8 seconds to remove.

If you don't want to be ghetto I saw a writeup where they installed aerocatch hood pins on the bumper for easy removal. They basically just put them on as if it were a hood in the old screw mounting points. I believe they used two; one for either side. I will look for the write up.

Use the top bracket from a stock bumper which attaches to the headlight brackets with four bolts. Or just rest the top of the bumper on the headlight brackets and ziptie it to them and to the radiator core, whatever floats your boat. Then use zipties or bolts where the bumper wraps around the fenders. It should not take more than a few minutes to remove, with disconnecting turn signals accounted for.
External mounting solutions are unsightly. |

Hidden zipties. You can't even see the zipties that I use to mount my bumper unless you're looking for them. Plus as said before, it holds everything fine (I've gone as fast as the car will let me), and if you crash while drifting/hit something while driving normally, the bumper just rips off and doesnt fall apart into a million pieces.

I thought the same thing back when I was fitting my body kit... ended up just going to lowes and getting some latches. They work fine. Hold tight. I have 2 zipties in the front holding on to it to pull the front up and keep it from sagging and thats it as far as zipties go. I can have my bumper off in about 20 seconds and back on in another minute or 2.
