Default Best Way To Mount Exospeed Bumper

I know you can mount it the stock way but being fiberglass has everyone came up with a nice easy way to mount it or is it just fine being bolted with 5 bolts on top and 1 on each side ?? any input would be great thanks.

Yes it bolts on to the stock fender locations. The bumper itself also bolts to the radiator support like a stock bumper. The only thing different would be the fender to the bumper. The easiest and cheapest way would be drilling a hole where the bumper and fender meet and run a bolt/washer/nut through it to hold it together.

If you have the resources for putting DZUS fasteners on, you can do that to hold the bumper in place as well.

Just redid our EK with the new bumper. Preparing it for SEMA right now. We have it bolted down as described above, but we'll add the DZUS fasteners just because we are wanting to take it off and on often when working on the car.

The guy that designs our front ends also does work for alot of companies doing one-off body designs for SEMA. So we're in the middle of the kits right now. The CRX and DC are in the works. Those companies pay him more money so I said put our stuff aside and get paid the big bucks. LOL. We're finishing them off in November.

It fits fine on this one and a couple other cars we did. There's no bolts on it on the top part of that bumper. Its only sitting against the headlights in this pic. You have to move the headlights a bit to get the grill around that part.

Chris,
Putting the car outside again. Putting a new motor in the car this week. We put the first motor in here on another one of our cars a couple months ago, so I had to do another one to get this one going again.
