That would be great addition. In the meantime I'm going to try the solution from @RookieOfTheGear, and then swap to the other one later
I donât know the exact size of the screws I have them in a random container not in the original box with the info. After doing this I think the best bet is using small cabinet screws they have a built in washer and itâs low profile unlike mine they are very flat and not sticking up as high less noticeable. If u can find some short ones that would be perfect.
Does this affect how you take off the bumper now? Or are you still able to take it off with no issues?I donât know the exact size of the screws I have them in a random container not in the original box with the info.

The back bumper screw is sheet metal screw 1/2 inch long , 3/16 wide and a 1/4 hex head + Phillips center , i did a very shallow pilot hole with a 1/32 drill bit just to make sure it went in straight simultaneously pressing the bumper where I wanted it and not releasing it till I put the screw in and a drop of super glue on the head contact area afterwords so it wouldnât come loose over time. The front screws are 1 inch n 1/8 long and I think 3/6 wide and have a Philips head the washer idk whatever fit over the screw tight and snug, the bumper wouldnât stay in place with one I had to use two screws up front. Yes I chose to drill them into the bumper bracket where it would usually snap on to if it wasnât broken. I figured it wasnât doing any good anymore but could still be used to hold the bumper. The back bumper u can hide the screw in the wheel well, the front I couldnât figure out way to conceal the screws . The best I could do was spray paint them gloss black to match my car to blend them in a little bit paint them to match ur car color if they are visible is all you can do maybe put a sticker over it . I used the washers just to have more clamping surface I didnât want the screws just pulling straight through the plastic they spread out the downward pressure a little bit more. I didnât crank hard on the screws either just get them snug enough to hold it up the bracket is plastic that you are hitting it will strip if you tighten them to hard and wonât hold so go easy on it just tight enough to keep the bumper up in place make sure you are holding it up in place where you want it the whole time to it is secure with the screws locked in, a second set of hands would be nice if you have somebody will help you
If ur mounting bracket teeth n bumper attachment hook slots arenât broken u should be able to reconnect them as long as you didnât break them with the screw,try to hit the center of the bracket thatâs what I did. My bumper side is broken but the bracket is only missing one tooth I think I could attach a new bumper if I ever got one . The bracket is pretty big lot of space to aim for on both sides away from the edge where the attachment points are, I did try to aim up by the edge though. U can see in my other picture I chose close by the side marker and end of the bumper so it would be as flush as possible.
You really canât just pop it back in? If the bracket is good and the bumper is good Iâd try to get it attached first one last time before you make permanent small holes in it . U can use a small thin flat head screw driver to lift the bumper slots over the brackets hooks , I had to do that on my passenger side the good side that isnât broken mine kept bending downward or going high and not catching right .
AlrightythenI have suggested this to a few people no one probably listens to it tho but screws n washers fix anything suck it up right back in place. Here is my back bumper all messed up
Clips were busted out and ruined so I used a non honda screw
Afterwards good as new
front bumper
Around the headlights and side markers was jacked up sagging
sprayed some screws and washers black and stuck them in
Works like a charm just make sure you have something to land the screws in or they will not hold , u have to use a bolt n nut if nothing is behind it to clamp it down . I will not take offense if you donât do that I donât think anyone ever has tried what I did even though it works fine
Did you install them yet? Could you post the instructions here? Want to see them first before buying. Also have the same issue as the op

. Finally going on vacation and I'll have a few extra days off in 2 weeks. Aiming to do them then
They're just packaging Quik-Latch as a kit. People have been using them for exactly this purpose for years. I'm selling a set of (4) blue Quik-Latch that I got for exactly this reason and never used in the parts sub.Did you install them yet? Could you post the instructions here?

I worked with Eric who runs Raiderfab to develop the kit he sells. It's not just a generic Quicklatch kit he's repacking, he has his own metric studs made for this application. I'm sure you could make a generic kit work, but you'll end up having to cut studs to length and it'll use imperial hardware/tools.
