Help with bumper bolt

Ok so long story short I had to remove my front bumper cover on the side of the high way at night due to blowing off an intercooler hose and I lost a couple of the bolts that hold the wire grill in front of the intercooler on and the top part of the bumer. Problem is that I have no idea what kind of bolts these are and no one seems to know what they are. I have tried Mitsubishi and my local parts stores.

Need help

Thanks.

That's not an OEM fastener, its some kind of a camloc fastener.

I was starting to think it was OEM but the weird part is that all the brackets and everything are made to work with that type of bolt.

So the regular plastic clip or a regular bolt wouldn't even be compatible to work. Only the odd looking one.

The previous owner must have converted the front bumper to all 1/4" turn fasteners. He probably took it off often to load the car on a trailer or something. Does the car show any other signs of track use?

From what I can tell the car doesn't show signs of track use. When I bought it the car has the basic bolt on up grades with some cams that I don't know what they are.

Bumper fasteners

You can find these at http://milspecproducts.com. I've used them on my own Evo. They're top quality fasteners, and their customer service is very good. Some one went to a lot of effort on your car.

Hope this helps.
