Default 2015+ Nismo front bumper lower inserts

Has anyone replaced their Nismo front bumper lower front inserts, one of mine got a good size rock chip and when washing the car some paint came off. I purchased a new pair from Z1 my question is does the bumper have to come off to replace them or can I access the area by removing the under tray? Thanks for any insight!

I changed mine to the carbon fiber ones and covered all the other red with carbon fiber as well

Did you have to remove your front bumper?

I already bought OEM inserts, my question is do you need to remove the front bumper to replace them or can they be accessed when removing the under tray. I guess I'll find out this weekend.

It didn't take long to do but leave the bumper on. Just undo the shield underneath and there is too screws on each side and then 2 clips. Once the screws are undone then pull off.
