I would like to make my front spoiler quickly removable, and maybe the bumper too.
They are both fiberglass aftermarket parts; the bumper is currently mounted in a basically stock fashion except there are no threaded brackets attached so there are nuts on the front (foghorn grille) side with the stock type bolts on the wheel whell side. The spoiler is affixed to the body with machine screws & nyloc nuts. Looking for tips and hopefully pics showing how to use dzus fasteners or latch toggles etc. to accomplish this. If it would be highly beneficial, I suppose I could glass the two pieces together, as I have seen some guys do, but I would rather not do that in case I trash the spoiler in a track "off". TIA, |

Here is a tip on getting the f/g bumper on and off quick.
Install the bolts in the metal bumper brackets from the back side of the bracket so they stick thru the bracket and point at the car when the bumper is off the car. This way all you have to do is stick the bumper with the bolts sticking out, thru the bumper mounting holes in the wheel wells and screw on washers and nuts. Use long bolts as they will hold the bumper on the car as you tighten the nuts down. It is easier to put a nut on the bolt, than trying to line up the bolt with the hole in the bracket with your head stuck in with the tire. Paul |
