fitment would’t be as good…

it would look funny cuz it would be horizontal on the s13

Wouldn’t consider those unless I wrecked a front bumper a week…

Since I’ve never wrecked one and would only have to remove it to get at the intercooler etc… I’d pass…

I’m sure someone would steal the bumper as a joke or for no reason if it just unhooked…

yeah just so you can pop it off and on quickly, basically if youre going drifting and you dont want to rip your bumper off just cause you went into the grass cause of one simple mistake…  
I’ve seen many guys in vids drifting without a bumper im thinking its for that reason.

yeah I am wondering what the fitment would be like, how sturdy it would be, if there is a way of locking it (I mean 5 sec. and someone just stole youre bumper)

true i havent taken mine of yet but once i start going drifting once a month thats a good chance of losing your bumper if you loose control, im sure youve seen it done if you watched enough videos !

I guess it would ony take 5 minutes of so to unscrew the bumper the original way…

its just a discussion

i donno but does anyone know where to get those??? and how much they go for. . b/c my aftermarket bumper always rattles and come apart on the highway especially even if u go over bumpers and what not. .

those would be good to tighten the sides compared to screws !!!

Currently I’m running 2 screws and the bumper comes off within about 5 min, its pretty quick however I’m not sure its strong enough either.

I need to pull my bumper off whenever I want to jack up the car 😢

Yup im thinking the same…i guess it wouldnt hurt as an extra support along with screws, i mean it doesnt look too bad ! plus if it helps in securing the bumper than its not a bad idea.  
Yes i would say you can purchase these fasteners at your local home depot or whatever.
