Quick Release Fender Fasteners

[Hulty]

I'm strongly considering putting something like these on my ride, but I'm looking for input from other members about what they've found on the web and/or what they've had personal success/fails with already??

Boy, I just don't think those would be consistent with the overall direction you've gone with your Sonic. You have kept things looking really nice looking in an understated way, your car grabs someone's attention not because of spoilers, wings and fins but because of the car as a whole. I would be concerned that those would stand out for the wrong reasons.

I bought a pair of these quick latch kits but haven't installed yet.

I liked these better because it wasn't a rubber band holding things together.

I really like this idea, But I have no damn clue what I'm doing.
A write up when you do install would be awesome.

Drill a hole in the fender, one in the bumper where they meet, bolt in the fasteners, attach with rubber band... You guys seriously need a write-up? lol

Completely understand, and thank you for the compliments, but my desire is based upon need rather than vanity. So many things on our cars require that the entire front fascia be removed that wear or damage to the little plastic clips build into the part is pretty much unavoidable and the sag due to it becomes easily noticeable. As much as I DON'T want to drill any holes, I have to come up with some solution. As it is, I've already become apprehensive about doing certain projects just due to the paranoia surrounding this very issue and I don't want my projects to be driven by fear of the uncontrollable, so I'm aiming to control it.

Agreed, my tabs are just about shot. This is why I purchased those mini latched to keep everything nice and tight.

I've been corresponding with Move Over Racing | MOVE OVER RACING EVO X to make a vehicle specific QR kit for the Sonic. I'm going to post about a group buy here soon to gauge interest here and a few other places, then we can kind of see what we are looking at as far as price. :banana:

If you get em the bands only last a month. I replaced em with bands From allfitlip. Work much better

I like the ones without the bands, the bands just don't look clean IMO.

That's a clean fender retaining kit.

Here is the link to the thread where I'm going to be keeping count of people interested in the QR bumper fasteners.
