For no particular reason, other than slight weight savings, I want to re-do the way my front fiberglass bumper and spoiler (actually a couple different ones) are attached. Currently they are screwed/bolted on in a McGuyver'ed stock-like fashion. I have tons of dzus fastener parts and have used those for the rear bumper, targa top and so forth, so I figure I'll use them up front too.

Rather than re-invent the wheel, if anybody has advice or better yet - pics - on how to do this, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks and Merry Christmas

Here's my front bumper dzus setup.

I used the stock bumper mounting holes, tapped some round stock and used some threaded rod to make the mounts adjustable. Welded a square plate to the end of the round stock for the dzus mounting.

My camera is dying and the 2nd & 3rd pics aren't to clear, but I hope this helps give you an idea of one way to do it.

Here's how I mounted the spoiler.

1st pic you can see a dzus fastener locations on each side of the oil cooler opening

3rd pic shows the location for the 2nd set of fasteners. On both sides, I have a dzus inside the front fender on the horizontal lip. green line indicates the location

Both the bumper & spoiler setups have worked well.

Thanks - that is very helpful !!!

Check the Turtlegirl build thread. Tabs were welded to the body. Less adjustable, but appeared pretty easy to get right.

I was going to describe this setup. Glad you have pics!
