Default How do you remove AC vent grills?

I'm thinking of painting them silver or something, but I don't want to snap anything trying to remove them.

yeah, take the outside panel thing off (pulls right off) and then you can just pop the grill things right out.

Default Vents

If you have a TA, you have to take the outside cover off and find a long narrow straight screwdriver. I used a grinder and made it thinner to stick through the vent slots and press the tabs in. Then pull very slowly.....
