there was some unpleasentness with striking a cone doing about 50 at the autocross. busted half the popit fasteners out of my bumper.

but hey, the zip ties have held for months.

I've currently got 2 zip ties holding my front air dam since I had to cut the undertray to clear the IC. I've also got a few holding wires for my horns and 2 holding my catch can.

Nothing wrong with zip ties for basic stuff ... they are a great, low cost solution and are quite versatile.

Zip ties are great to keep your hoses on your fuel pressure regulator, wastegate actuator, and the EGR lines on the back of the manifold.
