My "Frankenbumper" was held together with zipties for 2 years. I mean, I guess I could have replaced the bumper instead of putting in a built motor and a GT30r....but, well screw that!!b

My friends LOVE zip-ties. . .makes it hard to do work when you have to cut and re-apply 1000 zipties that hold the car together.

...they are a life saver

I have ziptie's holding my inner fender liner from rubbing on the tire. The bottom piece ripped off on the freeway partially shredding the fender liner. So I have some interconnecting zipties holding the inner fender liner to the front bumper.

I have zip ties holding up that plate you have to remove to change your oil. LOL.

You want to see epic zip tie use go to the paddock at any drift event. LOL. That's when I zip tied my stuff up. I was like... well there's 1000 zip ties around... better than let it drag.
