it looks good, my only question is how easy is it to take on and off? i personally only have 2 screws holding my bumper on!

sohcvtec1995 · 09-14-2006, 09:20 PM

zip tis work as well. but dont have it as flush as yours.. but you get the quick release option with zip ties.

i was actually going to do this sooner or later

solid mounts + loose bumper = rattling FTL

I've tried removing/installing the hardware with the tires straight and it's a PITA! I tried for several minutes just to see if I could do it. Cramps in the hand, fender scrapes, just easier to turn the wheel all the way to one side. Then turn to the other side for the opposite fender well. Makes it 100X easier. With the hardware I have now I use a 11mm socket w/ extension and a 11mm rachet on the nut. Pretty easy install/removal. I'm changing the hardware out for galvanized stuff this week

What about the 5 screws on top? I use those, the 2 in the fenders, and NOTHING underneath (PITA and waste IMO)

I thought about going the zip tie route, but considering I only remove my bumper 3-4X a year I'd rather have the clean look.

I'm gonna give you a piece of advice. Stainless steel bolts, galvanized bolts will rust too, especially after you break the galvanizing with the socket wrench and a box wrench.

great write up

M2S~Juan · 10-09-2006, 03:23 AM

good stuff, when I have time, I'm gonna do this

cbmprelude · 10-09-2006, 06:12 AM

Good post, my 98 hatch for some reason has keep perfect gaps despite it's mileage and body. It gets bumped a lot in the city, I have random paint from other peoples car, but it takes it like a champ! Gosh, I love that car...*tears*

B18C5-EH2 · 10-09-2006, 06:51 AM

I did the same thing about 5 years ago (not trying to say I invented it at all) and my non-galvanized hardware is still holding strong:

Also I did not remove the entire bumper to do mine. all you need to do is cut the wheel to the side that you're working on, unscrew the stock horseshit with a phillips head screw driver, then grab up a 10mm wrench and 10mm socket/wrench and install the new stuff. I locking nut is a nice touch and won't come loose - mine has not been adjusted in 5 years.

If you have a LOWES over in Florida you can just use the first page as a reference... all the #'s are on the bag. If not then maybe just pm the OP and i would assume he would be helpful in telling you exact sizes and such.

DaiJekBok · 03-08-2007, 11:18 AM

While this topic is revived... how do you get rid of the gap between the top of the front bumper and the leading edge of the hood? My hood is flush with the tops of the fenders so I'm assuming it's the bumper support that needs to go up. I've tried taking the bumper cover off and jacking the front up with some wood and it didn't do anything except start lifting the car off the ground.

95ProjectEJ1 · 03-08-2007, 12:48 PM

The only thing i could begin to think of is washers on the top of the bumper under that retaining plate(strip) that runs on top of the bumper (5 bolts), But the bolts are flat and i dont know where you could find some like that, but longer *shrugs* If that is what you are talking about

ya i have that same issue cause my front end was replaced. i was thinking washers underneath the bumper but need to find longer flat bolts somewhere.
