I've only had mine for 2 months and my girlfriend has hit a small pole dead-center of the front plate, denting the center bumper and cracking the grille. I've already purchased a used center bumper w/grille off of eBay. I thought that it would be easy to replace, but I don't know what the heck I'm doing. Does anyone know how to drop or replace the front bumper on the 8th Gen? Thanks.

 

Wow, they already have used bumper for that car already? I'm kind of surprised since it's first year model only been out not few months unless people already totaling their cars

 

you cant even get floor mats for this car, how did you find a used bumper on ebay, I would question if it is the right one

 

off topic so apologies to OP, but got my weathertech mats in the mail today. Haven't even tried them yet.

 

I kept my winter floor matts from my 7th gen....took them out got a pc of 1/2 copper water tubing punched a second hole in the drivers mat......Boom dropped all four in like a golve and they say Maxima .....

 

why didnt you just get the all weather floor mats from maxima, i had them throw them in when i got the max, they fit perfectly, i also had them throw in the all weather trunk protector as well in stead of weathertech?

 

I want to shed my front plate. I also am curious about what it takes to change out this part.

I ponied up to the Nissan all season floor mats, well worth the investment.

 

hey dano, taking off the front plate is pretty easy but what is left behind is a bit un-sightly, only cause then you still have the drilled holes and are you asking how to change it to another or do away with it completle? can you post a pic of what your talking about?

 

I want to replace the center section so that it's just like it was before the dealer installed the plate bracket. My question is the same as the first in this thread; what's involved in changing this part?
