Here's the skinny on the front nose finisher from Nissan.

Fitment is 99% on mine and dependent of installation. They supply templates for the holes needed to install the nose finisher using nylon rivets and double sided tape. Drilling the right size hole is critical to get the rivets to bite. Too small, it would be difficult to push in and will have a gap. Too large, it would not bite and will rely primarily on the double sided tape. You don't want that.

There was a small gap on my initial install. I was able to fix it after taking the bumper off for my halo install. I pulled the pins from the back side to flush a section onto the bumper and eliminate any gaps.

I know masking tape overkill.
