Remove and Replace Front Center Bumper

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.

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?

Want to replace my center bumper also

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?
