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

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!!
You are not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fu**ing post count.

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.

I'd use paper clips if I was really good at origami and could make a front outta paper. 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.
