Hey all,
I was asked to make a DIY on the quick release fasteners so here it is..
I used the Password JDM fasteners. As seen below.
Tools needed:
Power drill (cordless or corded)
Small phillips screw driver
Small Wrench (Not sure of size, sorry been a while since I done the install)
Rubber sealant or treatment (I was told Vaseline would prob work as well)
Flat top screw driver or some kind of clip remover
Measuring Tape
Black marker or something to mark holes with
Drill bit (again sorry but I cant remember the size)
1: First thing I did was undo the inner fender wells so you could get access to the back of the bumper easier. Just the clips along the side. I used a flat top screw driver for the removal of the clips.
2: I measured using a flexible measuring tape I measured (for the top set) from the light to desired point on bumper and fender, also measured from the bumper line as seen in picture below. Also measured from the where the bumper meets the fender. I measured all the same lengths from all 3 positions.
3: For the bottom set of the quick release fasteners I measured from 2 different positions. From the edge of the fender and also where the bumper and fender meet. You can see the marks in the picture below.
4: I marked holes with a marker. Just make sure not to make the mark bigger then the fastener supports.
5: Used a small pilot bit to make a small hole in the middle of the mark. You can see the small hole in the pic below.
6: Using the smaller bit you can penetrate throw the bumper and fender easier and when there is a less chance of the bit sliding around and scratching up everything. As seen in the previous pic.
7: After the small hole was made I got the proper bit for the size of the screws included in the Password JDM kit. And drilled a bigger hole. Make sure you use a paint pen to paint the edges of the hole so they dont rust out.
8: Once holes are drilled use the support and screw to secure it to the fender and bumper. Also note when drilling the holes some of the fender files falling off the bit could be hot and they will stay on the car so use water or auto detailer to lift the filings off the car.
9: Place hand in through where you left opened up the fender to hold on the the nut on the back and tighten it up.
10: My first mistake was not to use some kind of rubber sealant because after a year my fasteners dry rotted after a year.
Finished product.
Not much but I hope it helps. If you have any questions send me a pm or comment below.
Thanks,
Brandon
