Misalignment and improper front bumper fitment is a common problem on modern automobiles. This is because many of the critical components that mount the bumper cover to the vehicle, along with the bumper cover itself, are made of plastic. 

Many automotive performance enhancements involve removal and reinstallation of the front bumper during the process of upgrades. It is very common to find out the bumper no longer fits properly upon final stages of reassembly. 

Close inspection will most likely reveal that the plastic mounting tabs which keep everything in alignment have distorted or completely snapped off.  Once this has occurred, the car owner has a few choices:

• Replacing everything with OEM components along with the associated body shop labor - this can get expensive quick!
• Zip ties which need to be replaced every time the bumper comes back off again. Zip ties also tend not to be a long term solution 
• The rubber band solution: This is undesirable because the rubber band hardens and deteriorates over time. This bumper fitment solution also involves drilling a hole in your fender as well as your bumper
• Tape, which is unsightly and temporary at best
• Or, they can choose Quik-Latch which is the best long term bumper fitment solution which is reuasable and durable.
