    Some how the middle lower plastic grill, and the right grill that surrounds the right fog light got loose and fell off. It looks like they will just snap into place, but I wanted to ask on here if this is the right thing to do.

    Are they any fasteners or anything else I should be replacing?

    There may be some fasteners you need to replace. Honestly it is probably best to take it to the service dept so they can see it off and be responsible for getting it back on properly. If you do it and it comes off while you're driving and you run it over or something they may not be as amenable to replacement under warranty.

    If that's a problem, and it looks like all the fasteners are there and you can get everything to snap securely in place (i.e. not loose, doesn't rattle or pull off easily) then you're probably, in reality, safe.
