The end side two pieces are intentionally made to be unscrewed, if needed, for towing purposes: Owner's Manual, Removing Air Deflectors p.9-13 (You will also note that they show three bolts, but this is wrong as they only come with two.)

The reason I did not have the dealer install the pieces is that I want to be able to simply unscrew and replace the chin piece versus having to drill-out the rivet heads to remove the chin if it is installed the way Nissan meant it to be done. Also the pop rivets have no backing washers and the rivet itself will dig into the nose plastic.

Here is what I am looking to do, and I was hoping someone else has already done it so I could find out what they used; if not I will simply just find the parts and do it.
