I've seen a few rogues that below the car, it looks like there is 2 or 3 lines of silver or chrome, than others its all black underneith. I am not talking about the chrome protector accesory in the cargo area it is below that. My rogue has what looks like chrome or something like that, so I am just wondering what it is. I am going to check closer tommorow, and will include a picture, but thought I would post this and see if anyone else noticed or knows anything about it too.

It is a 2015 Nissan rogue

Probably after market detailing done by a local dealership. There's nothing like what you've described on the official website. The dealership I used to work at had a subcontractor come out to add chrome trim to both new and used vehicles, just to make them stand out.

I've seen other rogues with it, from different dealers. I will have to get a picture of it. It looks like equipment thats under the car, but its like silver/ chrome vs black.

It is the muffler and the muffler shield. It would be nice if the muffler shield could be painted black.

Yes definitely it could be. The 2014 Rogues have it in black. Well I know my 2014 SL awd has it in black. I really prefer it in black.

Don't see it under accessories: http://www.nissanusa.com/buildyournissa ... ries/index
Wonder if it has something to do with the family package?

Did you bring it back to the dealership and ask if it can be painted? I am curious how hot that shield gets, being its attached to the muffler. If it would be ok to use a rustoleum paint. It would look nice black.

No there is no 3rd row on these. I have seen it on SL models also. It must be on 2015 models. No i have not gotten a chance to see if it can be painted.

Its one of the pieces they added to the undercarriage to help with aerodynamics. It's on all new Rogues

I think one of the engineers referred to it as a "muffler spoiler"

It wouldn't be bad silver, if it had more of a finished look. Instead of looking like some kind of radiator.
