Use of zipties
I have allways wondered, why anyone would use zipties in their cars?
I´ve seen some nicely done corollas with zipties that I allways had the question in my mind. But since I droped my car the tires started to rub the union of the fender with the front bumper. So, just this week the tab from the fender broke, leaving the bumper loose. NOW I KNOW WHY THEY USE IT, I thought.  Is that the real purpose of zipties?

Use of zipties
when drifting zipties will break and will keep the bumper in tact when its screwed down it will shatter to pieces!

Use of zipties
this is one nice clean AE86 i saw in Los Angeles last year. And it was using zipties for my surprise...

My bumper is hanging from LHS and it's kinda rubbing when i turn.

Yes, but they just release the front bumper when hit some cones during slalom event.

Safety precautions for some, fashion for others.. i've seen this on many show-cars..

Use of zipties
I use zipties for everything. Fitting bumpers,fitting my speakers, using them as lacers in my shoes, using them as belt on my pants. I even have used it to mount the exhaustmount on the chassis of a car of mine, because they didn't line up very well
I reject your reality and substitute my own! No more Panda.. Tricolor bastard! If it 'aint broke, fix it 'til it is |
