46648, Zip ties work great to hold your front bumper on! Posted by EvuLFleA, May-04-03 11:50 AM
I take mine on and off quite often and now I can swap bumpers in about 5 5-10 minutes. 5 bolts in the middle, 2 zip ties on each side. So quick and so much easier.

Be careful, man! I used to use zip-ties for my front bumper, but it's quite dangerous when you drive on highways. Mine was broken on highway, and it caused some damage on my front. So I use steel wires (you know the wires you use when you hang picture frames), and it worked OK. Just my 2 cents.:P

Yeah, I may use a bolt on the outter outter most bolt on the sides and zip ties for the rest. The rest are just a PITA.
I know Cyan used to use zip ties also since his was off and on so often.

Haha, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I just recently swapped my stock front bumper cover for the Evo front. It's such a pain to get a wrench up in the fender well to bolt the sides on, so I just used zip ties too!! :thumbsup

I haven't tried using zip ties to hold my bumper on but I do have them on every one of my vacuum lines so I don't blow anymore off when I'm at the track. :thumbsup

Heh, can't beat mine. I use paper clips to hold my front bumper. Got the idea from Derek. :thumbsup

I'd use paper clips if I was really good at origami and could make a front outta paper. :P how do those dzus fasteners work? I think I saw a post saying you could use them. iono? I saw them in the summit catalog and they blew my mind on how you use them.
