i agree. if i cut all the zip ties off my other shell i cant imagine how many bumpers, fenders, lights and random shiz would fall off...

my exhaust was even held up by zipties for a while until i could afford new hangers..

zipties and duct tape are pretty much all you need in a roadside repair kit.

That's right, who needs bolts when zip ties hold stronger!

Zip ties, instant hose clamp in a jiffy! :D

Just because they where shipped to you like that doesn't mean that you should install them like that.

Is it the car in your sig? Your car looks stock. What would you ziptie on a stock car?

I bet none of you cut the tails off so you look like a mad tight drifter and s***.

Bumpers, skirts and rears come on and off a lot.

Also rad, intercooler, coolant overflow, wiring harness, efans, and SS lines are ziptied down.
