DIRT documents: [# 5]
Drift stitching is a repair method where zip ties, wires, or clips are used to hold cracked parts together after an accident.
The technique became popular in drifting and motorsports because damaged bumpers could be repaired quickly without replacing the entire panel. Small holes are drilled along the crack so the material can be stitched back together and reinforced.
Over time, the repair style spread beyond racing and became common in DIY car culture. People have also used this method on motorcycles and anything in need of a temporary fix that doesn’t immediately hurt the wallet.
Some people use drift stitching purely for function, while others leave the stitching visible as part of the aesthetic.
