Need a bracket to connect front bumper to fender

[GJarrett]

My front bumper got torn away from the fender. The plastic tabs and 7mm bolt mount were destroyed, so there's no way to reconnect them together OEM style. I remember someone once posted here about a bracket that they either made or bought that can attach and reinforce the bumper/fender together, and tried a
few search words but cannot find it. Can anyone help or direct me to some fix for this damage?

I used this push lock pin. Works great, trying yo recall where I got them from. See the black dot.

Get some Stein (i think thats the brand) quick latches. Its not as hard to install as you think. You just put the stud through an existing hole under the fender to bumper bracket then adjust and tighten. and it looks like sensors. You can buy the actual name brand quick latches but my knock offs for half the price are just as good.

Yeah mine randomly broke as well

Thanks, just what I was trying to find!

If you do the quick latch fender bumper mod I'd definitely reinstall the factory plastic fender thing that originally held the bumper on as well. It makes everything line up solid.

I'm going with @djcodeman 's tabs to keep the factory look. I considered the quick latch but not sure I like the look or not; sometimes I do and sometimes I don't

You can either drill it and do a mini hood pin setup like most people or check out Facebook. There's a guy who has done a lot of research on these cars and sells epoxy on replacement clips and I used them and they work great. Pro tip, remove the fucking screw and lose it. The plastic itself will keep the bumper in place just fine. And if the front scrapes then the screw just snaps the clips vs no screw it just pops out and you can pop it back in. Literally no reason for the screw.
