Quick Release Front Bumper?
Quick Release Front Bumper?

I have searched but I can't seem to find any good results for Subaru's.

I am looking at converting my bumper (front) to a quick release system which allows taking off the bumper and rather quickly using either latches or some fasteners. I know a ton of cars use these systems, I am sure there are several Subaru's as well, but I am not sure where to begin.

I am wondering if someone could shed some light on the process, what fasteners to use, and some Subaru examples.

TIA!

Dzus. Just to clarify. Zeus was a Greek God, not a way of fastening bumpers and body panels.
