Move Over Racing Bumper Q/R's. Interest?
 

I've been talking to Move Over Racing about making Quick Releases for the 86.

As many of you know, once you pull the front bumper off, they tend to not go back on too well. I was thinking that this would help fix that issue.

So, they're guaging interest in the product and I volunteered to help.

These are popular on NASIOC and Evo forums.

Quick Releases are made from 6061 T6 Aluminum and the brackets from 5052 aluminum. They are super strong (each latch holds over 250lbs) super light and have lifetime warranty. Made in Usa / Canada. Estimated price around $225.


Additional Info:


Move Over Racing would like to organize a list of interested parties that might want to get in on an early pricing deal.

The plan would be for interested parties to email them with the following info:

They will build a prototype unit and get us the info on it. Then they will invoice everyone that is interested a price based on the number of folks involved.
Please understand, the folks that email them and get added to the list are the first ones that will be contacted and are likely to be the ones that get in on a discount.
SO EMAIL THEM if you are interested.


Estimated pricing is:


$205 for Five kits
$195 for Ten kits
$185 for 15+kits





And they're looking for a volunteer around Toronto Canada to develop the kit.

Just 4 tabs holds the bumper on? What about security? What is to stop someone from deciding they want my font bumper? Great idea and product for track cars but a daily i would be iffy about putting this on.

You can still utilize the factory hardware. This will just add some extra support for those of us that need it.

oh gotcha. IM not knocking the product i think its pretty damn sweet especially for a track car.

No worries. It's a good question.

@diirk I live in Toronto and would be more than happy to help with development! PM me!

so you need room to hold it from behind to lock these in?? aka trim the wheel well plastics or take them off??

I don't know. When MOR gets access to a car, they'll determine the best ways to mount.

Evo installation instructions say it uses existing mounting points. Not cutting required. Just drilling the holes for the mounting points on the bumper.

I like, but the price... :(

Why not just make your own brackets and use tridairs, camlocs, or even DZUS fasteners?


This is simple stuff to do.. this is coming from a race/track car guy though so maybe this brand caters more to the form crowd. Seems really pointless on a street car, I've had my bumper off a couple times now and it fits perfect still. :shrug:

I agree. If we get enough interest, maybe we can work a group buy.

As long as no drilling of the fender is necessary (bolt on to fender, drill into bumper), I'm in even at $225. It'd be nice to have a bolt on solution as my bumper is driving me crazy.

Do you have a trick to get it to line back up right. I have yet to see one line back up properly after the bumper has been removed. Not saying it isn't possible. I heard the CSG has it down pat too.


I thought about using Dzus fasteners, but these just looked cleaner. I'm going for a combo of form and function. And in my case, I don't consider it pointless. I want my bumper to line up properly.

From the other installs I've seen, the bumper should be the only part modified.

Honestly I've never had a problem. Lucky maybe? Not sure but it lines up the same as it did when it was new. Maybe mine is just bad fitment from the factory so I haven't noticed it being different :)
DZUS is junk compared to camlocks, tridairs, etc :)

Sub'in. Happy to help out in Toronto as well :) let me know.

definitely interested! Keep us posted!

Interested, but not likely to buy in at that price.

My bumper has been off maybe 4 times in the past 4 years, it doesn't latch on to the tabs at all now. Maybe my intercooler is causing a tight fit, I don't know, but other stock guys have the same issue as well.

I'm in the same boat as you. I've only had my bumper off a couple of times, but I figure in my case it's partly the intercooler and partly the relocated washer resevior.

I'm hoping the price will come in lower than the guess. But I'd rather estimate higher and drop the price than lower and have to increase.

Keep in mind the quik latch fasteners cost $24-28 a pop + if you desire the tension spring setup which is worth it... Rest of the cost would be making your own brackets and materials for them. So its more than a $100 easily in parts/material. Not to mention the time/headache you may spend getting it right the first time.

I'm interested... My bumper comes off more than the average Joe for sure and I'll pay for the convenience and cleanliness of their past setups. Not to mention my undertray and bumper are not attached to each other and I'm deleting my sidemarkers. So underhood hardware removed, 4 quick latches, and 6 wheel well plastic fasteners ftw

So I just received an update from Move Over Racing.

They've lined up a couple of people to test fit/develop the kit. They're quite happy with the response so far and are "getting this going sooner rather than later". That's great news.

They've offered up the possibility of a group buy and are hoping to have the prototype done within a month.

My hesitation to buy in at over 200 is based on their previous group buy for the Veloster guys where it was 165 for billet aluminum, 180 for black, 195 for red or blue.

At 180 for black, I am all in.

I think we'll be able to get close to that price, but that's dependent on how many people we get.

Again, let me reiterate. I am not affiliated with this company in any way. I just saw the possibility of them mfg a product I was interested in and asked them about it. Then volunteered to try and help get the ball rolling for totally selfish reasons....

Worth every penny.

Let's hope they pull through this time, I asked them back in Nov 2013 and this was their reply.

"Yes we should have something in the next couple weeks. they are around 200"

I hope so. They seem pretty motivated this time.

This sounds amazing....I can swap between frs or brz bumper anytime lol

In for updates

Anything I hear will be shared as soon as possible.

Well, I just received an email from Move Over Racing.

They'd like to organize a list of interested parties that might want to get in on an early pricing deal.

The plan would be for interested parties to email them with the following info:

If you're still interested upon seeing the completed product, pay the invoice. Production should start within 2 weeks. In theory we should be able to have kits in hand within 2 months.

I sent them an email yesterday, my car will be within 5 minutes of their shop today around 5 if they want to take measurements (waiting for a reply)… I'm actually way to excited for something as small as this. It came just in time because when i reattached my bumper last night i broke one of the tabs on the left side and it has droopy face now :(

I'd suggest giving them a call and maybe just stopping by.
