For those of you that have the 3.5... How do you remove the engine cover?

I was just outside this morning trying to remove stuff that I don't need from the Maxima and I could only get the screws off but the engine cover is still stuck on the bottom part. I didn't want to pull and break anything. Someone with the 3.5 teach me? The set-up is almost identical in terms of the engine cover. Bigger intake components and a plastic cover for the fluid bottles for cosmetic reasons. I want to remove that sh*t too.

if its like my 3.5, there are two screws at the top, (i'm sure those are the ones you removed) and on the bottom it's held on by plastic or metal pieces that go through rubber gromets. Basially just pull it off, I thought mine would break too, but it didn't
