Default Track guys! What do you guys use for quick detach bumpers?

I was going to ask this in the "Motorsport/track" section but I no have access to post up over there...


What do the track/you guys use if any for a quick detach system for your front bumpers?


Im going to be removing and installing my front end quite often with my project car.. Even more so when I go FI/track days. And was looking into not having to mess with those dam pop clips and into a QD type bumper system??




Anyone have any systems for this?

then there is also a latch type and a button and some even use a leather belt with a buckle but the url would not load, and also its not just used for track, if you r low and need an alignment, then it helps also.

These!! These are the bungees Ive been seeing and think they are QD bumper straps... But I feel like you would still need center support. Making the point of them, at least for me moot. The clips are the PITA.


What exactly are these called and who makes them if you know.

Yea I know they are O rings and zip ties I just wasn't sure what the name or if they were specifically made. But that makes sense.




Looks like Ill be hitting my local home depot and getting spools! Really appreciate it man! Now I gatta figure out a system for the mid section.

if by midsection u mean the undertray, then what i would do is extend the undertray (with aluminum sheets) further into the bumper and put 3 spools like that (2 corners and mid). when u need to take bumper off u d disconnect from the fenders firms, and then bend the bumper forward(granted undertray is plastic, kinda like those semi trucks whos cabin goes forward to access engine)and reach with hand and undo the spools that hold undertray.

now, i just thought abt it in few mins. i was going to do the QR bodykit but later down the line, so i was not planning to think about it right now ( i simply dont have time right now to think about it more thoroughly and make it as efficient as possible). so what i mean is in few months i ll come up with something better, therefore dont take my word for it right now unless u like the idea. and by all means show what ull come up with.

also if you r gonna do this, then make sure that u have a good backing plate on the inside of the bumper and fender, bc tension over time will bend the thin body parts out.
