Geez, whats with the negativity?

just for the record, these are purpose built clamps designed to hold body panels on race cars & this is a race car. so all of you crying about how its ugly, please save the negative comments. your missing the point, its not supposed to "look pretty" its supposed to work.

so this car doesnt use the plastic undertray or wheel wells?

how does the bumper do at speeds with only two mounting points? does it catch air and move around at all?

No wheel well liners, the under-tray is the splitter.

with the splitter bolted to the bumper the assembly becomes pretty solid & doesn't move much when off the car, & even less when its actually attached to the car. but after posting this vid i did notice the rear part of the splitter that extends under the engine bay would flutter & occasionally bang up against the longitudinal brace between the radiator support & subframe at speeds over 100+. i have since added a third latch the attaches the splitter to the brace at the splitters rearmost point

They make ones similar in black and they have a slimmer profile.

My buddy has quick disconnect for his 8 on his fenders and bumper. His entire front is tube framed, and he did this since the engine comes out after every track season, but here's an example of quick-disconnects that look really good

As far as looks it could be better but the intention and the way it works is pretty cool.
