After seeing a few cars at Honda Day yesterday, i really like these fasteners, i have always had trouble keeping my bumper on properly and now with my big intercooler I'm sure its going to want to pop off even easier! I am looking into getting these fasteners for my front bumper and was wondering what sizes people were using on their bumpers. I have a 99 si and i plan on using two on each side. Also where is the best place to buy these fasteners?
Secondly I have a GForce window net and i have lost the codder pins needed to hold the bars in properly to the cage, does anybody know what size they are and where i would be able to purchase those?
thanks for the help in advance!

 

You can get Cotter pins anywhere, a local hardware store will have them. Or auto parts stores have a 10 dollar kit with a bunch of them. That's great to have laying around.

Go to a local speed shop for the dzus stuff, or call a few suppliers.

That's the chart I use, if you get me PN's I'll see what I have laying around the house.

Measure the bumper and then do the math out. But for a small order it's probably easier to have it done/gotten for you by a shop.

 

yeah thats what i figured, the pins that i am talking about aren't your average codder pin (i was just using that name cause i cant think of the name of them)
I need the pins that go through the top of these hood pins for my window net setup somehow i lost almost all of them but 1

Those are called 'hairpin cotter pins' or some people call them 'hitch pins'

i got the hairpins good to go, now i just gotta measure my bumper to make sure that i get the right size quickness for the fasteners

 

to those who may be wondering i was told by a good friend of mine to go to
www.panelfast.com ,i haven't really looked into it that much but from what it seems that it makes it easier to figure out what size you need to fasten your bumpers etc etc

 

A few of my friends use the 1/4 turn fasteners like you are describing and they work very well... I am not sure what size you need but the pic below is what size they use, I am putting a set on my bumper soon as well, they are easy to install just make sure you keep them closed or you will snag your clothes on them.

 

lol, nice state pride.

 

any diy for installing this..i want my quick release bumper...i hate having to bend down and get the screews...the dc2 bumper are a pita to remove...

 

You dont need a write up, its extremely simple....

 

i just havent seen them upclose..only in pics..do u have to cut out a whole the size and shape or just drill 2 holes..?? i wanna do this when i switch to the jdm front on both sides of the jdm bumper..for quick released..

 

Here is mine....




This was before my Exospeed front end....
For the front bumper it's easy.... The only thing you have to cut away is for the metal plate. Drill a few small holes for the rivits and then one for the button. The hardest part is the alignment. I had mine done up at NRG. They did a PERFECT job.
