the pipe behind the rad is one of the rad hoses. Yea, it looks weird but the radiator did not have the correct outlets so we made do. Its functional.

Where did you get those??
i bought the kit at a local specialty tool and bolt store. it comes as a kit in a metal box. it came with like three different sizes of threads and the gun to clamp the nutsert to the metal. it is an awesome route if you plan on mounting/dismounting body work. but like other guys were saying, if your car is low and youre worrying about it ripping off, zipties would be the best option. they are the weakest link, so you wont have to repair your bodywork as often, just re-ziptie whatever back on.

industrial velcro after the problem i have with my stock bumpers alone, I would go zipties.Personally i think it looks ghetto but they are pretty versatile.the retainer brackets that go along the flat faces of the inside of the bumpers are rusted on mine and getting at them with a tool is such a pain in the d!ck.

zipties don't necessarily have to look ghetto.You can do it so that you don't even see them.

Some people choose to do it and leave 12 inches of the ziptie sticking out. THAT looks stupid.

lol, I was making fun of xx RB xx for calling it a pcp pipe, not you for using it.
