Here's what I'm using:

And, of course, some 1/8" rivets.

how strong do they hold? i'm assuming somebody who has carbon fenders wouldn't go flimsy and cheap.

so i guess they're pretty good huh?

JeromeS13 · 07-17-2010, 12:14 AM

They hold up fine to 100+ MPH track abuse...

9blackcobra9 · 07-19-2010, 05:37 PM

jerome nice clean setup!

boost junkie · 07-19-2010, 05:51 PM

These toggle latches are what I used on the old car:

For the new car I'm using Camloc fasteners for a more secure connection. Slightly more difficult to install but the end result will be worth it.

dub c · 07-19-2010, 06:11 PM

Dzus fasteners from Pegasus Auto are great.
They have a new version out that locks better.

Yanos' car looks sick, I haven't seen those shots before.

ADAS1223 · 07-19-2010, 06:33 PM

Dzus latches like boost junkies. I like the self ejecting ones a lot. didnt see those when i was shopping around. but I have a second bumper and its so easy to make another strike plate to make them interchangable.

9blackcobra9 · 07-19-2010, 07:37 PM

boostjunkie do you have pics of the "new" ones your using and install pics?

thanks!

Longinus · 07-19-2010, 08:00 PM

Will this become another track inspired car trend like tow hooks? I really hope those of you who have these quick releases actually track your car...

Or people might just like that fact that they can remove the bumper without jacking the car up and taking the wheel off...just a thought.

Having to pull off your bumper / pulling your car from a ditch

..think about that

No install pics because they haven't been installed yet. But the assembly looks like this, only philips head. It sits flush against the bumper when locked down, nothing sticking out.
