Default Hardware Used For Front Lips

What kind of hardware is everyone using to install their front lips?

Long story short...I hit a truck tire in the middle of the road about a year ago while driving over to Orlando. I had the front bumper and everything repaired at my Nissan dealership...but unfortunately the sport chin spoiler doesn't fit perfect on the driver's side...there's a slight gap between the bottom of the bumper and top of the spoiler. I'm thinking that I can use a couple screws to get it pulled up close to the bumper, but I'm just wondering what you guys are using to install these lips.

Thanks for any input!

The rivet on chin spoiler is a pretty piss poor design on the part of Nissan. There are many people that would obviously have the need to remove the spoiler easily because they scrape it, whether lowered or not, and people that would like to remove it to provide more ground clearance for winter driving. You would have thought by the 2012 model year they would have changed to a bolt on design. Apparently on some 370's, the air deflectors are fastened with 2 bolts and one rivet where as others are fastened with 3 bolts.
