Front Bumper Quick Release/Removal

[95CarbonEclipse]

OK, so i've done a pretty extensive search and haven't found anything similar or related to this in anyway. I also apologize ahead of time if this isn't the correct section to post something like this.

How many of us DSMers have found themselves in need of a tow? How many of us dread seeing the flatbead load/unload and then scrape the crap out of our front bumper? How many times have you pulled that front bumper off to tinker with something under the hood of your car either at home or at the track?

I'm thinking about rigging up some sort of quick release latch or some way to quickly remove my front bumper. I was thinking of some sort of latch on the outside fender that would clasp the fender to the bumper. Something like http://www.inlandrv.com/parts/19183-latch.jpg But, i can't think of how to attach the upper front part between the headlights. Anyone have any ideas on how to do this or seen it done before? What are your guys' thoughts? ANY help, or ideas on this would be greatly appreciated. THX

For the outside fenders I was thinking that a latch that locked would be WAY more practical so I did some digging online and came up with this.

Ah, my bad. There's one bolt that has to be accessed by removing the side marker (above the center of the marker) and there's one almost at the corner of the bumper, to the right of the right circle in your image.

The things you circled are just nubs that stick up to help align the bumper to the fender.

, i just found out that my tow truck company has a low profile truck and they knew who to bring it to when i called!

oh, weird. Mine doesn't have those, thought they were something you added yourself.
