5-to remove the bumper you will have to remove 10-15 bolts depending on how many you have under the car
by the bottom plastic cover… but you have to remove 2 screws that hold the bumper to the fender…on each side..

6- once you unbolt these 2 bolts then you will see that the bumper will kinda wobble… they are still
held in place by 2 clips right under the headlight housing… if you pull the bumper you will see them.

7- when pulling on them be careful i broke 1 of the clips but when putting them back in i found it
not to be bi issue with just 1 clip instead of 2 but still be careful…

8- with the bumper off or hanging by 1 or 2 screws at the bottom… you can now access the bolt under
the headlight. this shoul be the last bolt to remove… unplug all th electrical harnesses/wiring…
take em out gently…

Order Link: https://www.tbwperformance.com/aluminum-under-tray-for-09-15-nissan-maxima-7th-gen
Price: $189.00

The OEM undercarriage is missing a fairly vital component.  We have designed a skid plate/under tray to cover up the bottom of the engine, which will protect and help keep it clean.  This design is vented for airflow improvement and optimal cooling.  By having this on, you will improve airflow both through the radiator and the aerodynamics under the vehicle.

Installation is simple and will use the new provided hardware. Hardware consists of new plastic push clips, bolts and speed nuts.  Because Nissan did not use a stock piece here, there are no threaded bolt holes.  We include self-tapping bolts to secure this to the frame.  Optionally, you can use rivets, or nutserts (not included).

**Updated design to allow fitment of larger aftermarket Y-pipes**

FITS:
2009-2015 Nissan Maxima

  • MADE OF .063 ALUMINUM – hard aluminum resistant to denting and splitting but lightweight to avoid adding unnecessary weight
  • LASER CUT – Precise cuts to fit stock mounting points * CLEARANCE – Clearance as good as OEM or better, but stronger which improves airflow
  • RIGIDITY – Offers better protection while strengthening bumper support for better stability at high speeds
  • VENTED DESIGN – Helps to aid with air flow and heat removal
