Re: Quick Latch... very cool! Ditto on parts list, etc.

Those are canards. They serve to provide downforce in the front of the car for more front end grip.

Did you remove the black plastic piece too?

I am confused about all the pop clips and screws that hold the bumper to the car. Are all those removed and the only thing holding the bumper is the Quik Latch?

I would lean towards yes just because that's the point of the quick release!

Crazypinoy9 · 08-11-2015, 05:39 PM

the stainless is $50 per latch!? plus you gotta buy the mounting buckets for each one @ $12/pc!?

Has anyone else tried this DIY? Does it work over time and prevent the bumper gap, with only one Quik Latch Mini on each side in that location?

Why would you go with stainless? I don't think this DIY requires mounting buckets, but I could be wrong.

I just made another DIY using 1 latch on each side just in a more forward location, right where the gap happens. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=95624
