...what? oem is insanely easy to put on, you only need like 6 bolts/screws to get it to sit sturdy

If your that lazy, just ziptie it. Pretty easy to take off / put back on.

remove all the bolts and stuff just hold it up top with zipties and to the fenders a strong ziptie will do... a few more would be better but since you want something to take on and off... well... or just get those tool box latches they sell at home depot/lowe's those work nice, not really nice on the eyes but they do what you want them to do, hold the bumper and allow you to take it off easy...

Just don't use all those nuts that attach the fender to the bumper. You really only need 2-3 per side. OEM mounting is overkill i think.

x10000

taking OEM bumpers off for the first time is such a pain in the ass. front bumper is held on by like 20 bolts...

even my civic bumper, which was 10 years newer was only held on by 2 bolts and 2 pop clips.

yea, i know which nut you're talking about

no need to reinstall that one when you put on the new bumper. Just fasten like 2-3 of the easy to reach nuts in front of the front wheels
