So I've got the front bumper off my 1g, I'm about to install a JM Fab front bumper support, and I got to thinking about installing some quick releases for the bumper, reasoning is partially because it'll make future projects easier (fmic, oil cooler, etc.), second reason being that 3 of the 4 corner bolts snapped due to being seized with rust. So I started looking around, and quickly decided I wanted to stay away from the "home depot o-ring method", then I came across Aerocatch v3 latch's. I'm leaning towards trying to use these, I've heard nothing but good thing's about their products. So i was wondering if I'm the first to try this or what? I tried searching and couldn't seem to find anybody that's used these before? I'd love to hear some input, I'll try to attach a pic so you guys can see what I'm talking about.

I've looked into those, and my main issue with them is that the support bracket bolts into the original fender bolt holes, which in my case, those happen to be not useable due to the rusty snapped bolts occupying them haha, I know their kinda pricey, but they seem like a nice clean and solid solution for bumper quick detach?
