Default Opinion on Attraching Bumper..

K my EG bumper is sagging and it has that damn dreaded space that all eg's get by the corners etc etc...

I need a solution....I have a SRR quick bumpe release kit, but I also have the SRR trunk hook kit..

trunk hooks
quick bumper release

My bumper even sags more cuz I have no bumper support......question is would it look weird if I used the trunk hook kit and added them between the fender and the bumper?? the hook set will provide more pressure persay than the rubber bands the quick release kit provides and holt it on nicely....

Kinda like how Jeep Wranglers hold there hood on ya know..

Now flame me if you must, but let me know what you guys think..I need to find a way to mount my bumper...and I don't want to screw it on, I want it to still be able to fall off incase I hit something (knock on wood) and have it not mess my fenders up etc etc...

You may want to clarify what you are talking about because I have no idea. Maybe someone else will though?

I understand the gap but I don't know the kits you are talking about, or which is which, or how they work

I mean to do it like this....but I'm asking if me using the trunk hooks in the same way instead of the bumper release things would look too funny or anything..

it wouldbe functional though ya know..

neither...get DZUS fasteners!!! i have them on both of my bumpers, and it allows for quick release, and it holds well...just search for "DZUS fasteners" on google or something...i paid $30 shipped for a set of 10, came with everything I needed, except rivets...

here is a bad picture, but you can kinda see it..
