Simple Fastening System for Front Fascia
I installed external fasteners to my front fascia so the snap-together attachment point to the fender would stop popping apart.
I have a good-sized splitter on the front and the car lowered, and the fascia has been on and off a lot. This fix lets me stop using duct tape to hold the joints together. Install is easy: Just remove the fascia and remove the black plastic clip block on each of the fenders by removing the two, recessed #6 bolts. There is one clip that should be squeezed to get it to release. Put the block in place on the fascia and transfer the two bolt hole locations to the facia, and drill holes for longer 6mm bolts. I used 50mm flat-head bolts and countersunk aluminum washers. The tapered aluminum washers are only 1/8" thick. Both pieces of hardware are from McMaster-Carr. Bolts can be bought in a light blue zinc coating. I darkened the heads. The two longer bolts sandwich everything together using the existing fender nuts. It's not quick release but it's close, it looks good, and I won't have to worry about the front of the car coming loose again while on track or if I bump a curb or have an off-road excursion.
