why i want to do this
1)lately i have been working on my car a lot and have been having to take off my front bumper
2)im not that low but where i work(my restaurant) we have a fat dip that is nearly impossible to drive up without possibly ruining your lip
3)i have two front bumpers a gxe and a ser 02-03 currently on the car i want to use the gxe bumper for daily driving and not having to worry about ruining any lips and the 02-03 for shows or the weekends and possibly track if i decide to make a functional splitter for it
4) other reasons but thats the main ones
yes i have done some research and seen various types of latches or setups from people and diff companies
password jdm ones
which i personally dont like(scroll to bottom of post for home depot $1.75 version with how to)
sparco style which ruins your paint
not sure what these ones are called
but theres a bunch in this style
and my personal favorite which i feel would be easy to install are
quick latch mini style latches
toxicfab.com or whatever you wanna call them
we have something very similar on our cars that is rights where the original bolt and nut that holds our bumper in place is located
its actually a part of the fender if im not mistaken
so it would be very easy to install
all you do is push this button and the side of your bumper comes right off
wanted to get some ideas from you guys or what you guys would do instead of this
(no i dont want to hear dont do it or any negative remarks)
or if any of you guys know of a latch that comes with a key
or if anyone has already done this to their car
Update of pics of them on my car
the hole i used is already in our fender bracket so no drilling is necessary( my fender bracket is cut to accommodate lower ride height)
