[QUOTE="DSG2003Mach1, post: 17034881, member: 16477"] for what it's worth ended up leaving the bracket, the studs locate everything and the single quik latch holds it in place. I really prefer the look of the single latch. Unless you pull it in so tight it's difficult to disengage the quik latch they just dont hold as tight as using the nuts on the back side anyway. the only thing Id add to the post I linked is that I ended up drilling a second 3/4" hole in the metal bracket on the bumper - the first hole I drilled dead center in line with the hole in the fender itself. The second hole is towards the rear of the car then I used a cutoff wheel to cut out the little piece of metal in the middle - basically made an oval shaped slot. When you're putting the bumper on the quik latch stud would hit the bracket and push it out, made it a little more difficult to slide into place. The slot takes care of that. Also I found it much easier to set the depth using the supplied non-locking nuts then once I had it set up I put a locking nut on the backside of the stud so that nut cant back off. [/QUOTE]
