you do but just the bumper. Those other ones you have to drill in the bumper and the fender, lol.

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

what makes you take your bumper off so many times to need this?

I was wondering the same... Quick access to the intercooler, if you even have one? Granted, two of the 3 cars shown above don't look like they have or will ever see a track day anyways.

A lot of show car wieners do it for the "race car" look.

Purposefully it makes it easy to access ic piping, oil coolers, etc. if you break something at the track, or to be able to quick pull your bumper and show off your build at events.

Toxicfab is known for making these for the evo crowd. My 2IS bumper was sagging from broken bumper tabs and I retrofitted the bracket to mount to the fender to better secure the edges of the bumper. Easy install and easy to work with.

I wanted to do it to try and make my bumper sit flush against the fender again.

I started making my own last night. Just need to get the quick release part.

so its very easy to jack up the front. Im only lowered an inch and a half and my jack doesnt even fit. I can go buy a lower profile jack or put it on 2x4, but this would be a much simpler solution.

I'm thinking the mini quick-latch is the perfect solution for mounting the APR GT bumper.

I take mine off for drifting, makes it stupid easy.

There is a slammed IS250 that just added these a couple weeks ago. Now I know what they are

They hold up fairly well, but it may need occasional adjustments. Aero catch latches are a more secure solution, but difficult to mount on some bumpers. The small button latches blend well and don't scream race car since they look like parking proximity sensors.
