Anyone ever thought of this? I am constantly scraping my bumpers so i thought that there would be a way to replaces the 10 bolts that hold our bumper in place with some sort of snap fastener that can be used to pop off the bumper and switch on a crappy spare bumper(i have one) so i can go and scrape it on driveways. then when i want to go on a nice drive, i'll put on my nice one. it could have some sort of locking mechanism or have to have the hood open to take off. I thought it was a good idea.

edit: this might be a pita for people with fogs or something bolted on the bumper.

Having Problems? Heres my Three step solution to anything 2gnt related.
Step 1: Put down everything in your hands.
Step 2: Grab a lucky strike, Smoke it.
Step 3: Walk to the fridge, double fist some keystone ice, sit down in the shade, drink one beer, finish cigarette, drink other beer, roll a joint, smoke it, walk back to your problem, and in about 5 minutes the solution will come to you.
If not. Go here: here

If still nothing, your trying to hard. Start over at step 1.

I seen a 2001 (I think) Mustang Cobra R with the front ground effects held on with those metal twisty spring snap thingys! Makes sense to me emoji

search the web for DZUS fasteners. I think they are spring loaded fasteners that pop open with a half turn. interesting idea, but then won't it suk even more when you curb check you GOOD bumper? emoji
