Default Missing a bolt.

I'm not sure what the name for the part is, but it's the black "shield"-like thing under the front bumper/engine bay that keeps water from entering the bay. It's the thing you have to remove to change your oil. The bolt I'm missing is one of the ones along the front of the car... I tried going to some sites that sell OEM parts, but I can't find any that break it alway the way down to the invidual bolt. Any sites I should check out?

You're going to have a tough time finding those individually. If you go to a Nissan body shop and ask for a couple, sometimes they have a few laying around. This is how I got mine...

Oh man, talk about a letdown. I'll call the stealership since I bought the car a few weeks ago, hopefully they're not already in "avoid call" mode etc, lol. Worst case- NISMO FRONT BUMPER HERE I COME

Worst case scenario, I got some at the local stealership in packages or 5 about .43 per fastener.

I'll try and swing by home depot today or tomorrow :thumbsup:... I have to change the oil this weekend, so that'll be a good time to have the screws.
