    I dunno. They're a thing in the RICEr community. Please tell me you're not putting that shit on your 4R.

    Not for looks. But I have separation at bumper/fender due to connection point inner fender broken. I've tried several things (glue, double-sided tape,) but, it won't stay. Short of replacing bumber with OEM or alternative, I'm just looking for solution. And I saw these today. So, maybe not these exactly but,...

    Depending on the circumstance, I've had good luck with strategically drilled holes and zip ties. Sometimes have to take a lot of stuff off to get it done, but it's ended up clean and invisible.

    A more exact name would be "quick release bumper holder"

    Here's a link to some just like in your photo, but they have other styles and colors as well to choose from.

    I seem to remember seeing on YouTube that the part you described as broken is replaceable. I may be wrong on that.

    Another option would be to install a rivnut or a t-nut in the broken piece behind and then fasten the bumper to it with as innocuous a piece of hardware you can find. That way you can leave the fender out of the equation. Maybe a button head machine screw.
