How can I fix this fender/bumper issue?
I hate pot holes! Anyway, so I was driving hit a pot hole (obviously) caught my lip, and pulled it ripped my bumper off. Where it mounts to the fender with the plastic piece and screw, my fender has cracked, is there anyway to fix this? Should I just have someone spot weld it back, or is there any other methods? I'm no bodyshop kind of man...

I had the same issue, and the best thing so far and has held up for the last 4 weeks was to use 2 very thick durable ZIP Ties. I work with a bunch of cableing guys so they had a few extra to spare... Heck I figured if there is a whole webiste called ziptied.com based on drifters, because thats what they use to hold there stuff together.....why not me... and so far it does work. Also if you have the wheel guard, zip it through that as well and holds better. Hope this helps.

man that looks way better than my fender. mines missing an entire side of the square hole towards the center of the car. Anyways i just used a U nut and bolt combonation. Works great. found one that was long enough to reach the hole and takes an m6x1.0 thread pitch. thats like a standard 10mm bolt. OR you can contact toxic fab for their bumper quick latch quick disconnect set up.
