i could do with a set of them too,do you think you can use them on front and rear bumpers to?i need a removeable front bumper cos if she ever breaks down she wont get up the tow truck with the 500 splitter on her.

If you are thinking about getting the round ones with the key hole on the top, then don't -they are a crap design, and break
