If you figure something out let us know, I was trying to do the same thing but couldn't think of one.

No headlight gap, but I do still have the side sag. The headlight gap comes from improper installation. I found this out by actually playing with the bracket and the bumper off of the car. (I know it's most likely nothing new.) My bumper is going back on now, but will be coming off again later this week. Round 2...

I mean you still are making holes, but the less the better, to me at least.

Sorry for bringing up an old post, but I'm going to get the quick-latch minis, and I'm not understanding how you can install them without drilling into the fender. Anyone have any good reference photos or good instructions on how to install these with minimal drilling? Cuz, if I could get a couple of these on without drilling into metal that would be fantastic.

no prob - you only have to drill wherever your mounting the actual minis to. I didn't do it on this car but I did it on my sti. I used a bracket that I mounted to my fender that hung down and held the bolt with sphere on it that attaches to the latch and then drilled a hole in my bumper for the latch. Then it just connected like that.

I don't have pictures of mine but here are two examples.
