I know the right way to really fix this is a new bumper and clips but i was wondering if bumper quick releases will hold it sufficiently?
also, ive since chassis mounted the splitter, its no longer bumper mounted like my ricer self had it originally. if i secure the bumper to the splitter, do i need those aforementioned quick releases?

For what it's worth, the only thing holding my bumper on are the sidemarker clips ( no bolts) and the bolts in the engine bay that cover the radiator support. It has held on that way for 2 years and while it did get detached during a snowstorm (see a few pages back) it clipped back on with no damage that I could see. Embrace the ability to quickly yank the bumper on/off!
