Default LS1 TA - Taking off fender vents

How do you take them off? I don't want to ruin or scratch any paint in the process. Are they held in by screws? Should I just grab it with some pliers and pull? I'm going to trace them on some mesh grill and cover them.

They just snap in and out. To take them out without scratching anything, use a screwdriver. Stick it in one of the holes, tilt it so its not staight in, and pull. Piece of cake!

if this is the vents near the front wheels -

open the door. stick your hand in there behind them and squeeze the side clips that hold them in place. they should pop out real easy.

This is the best way without breaking off the plastic tabs that hold it.

yup, I've done it like this a lot of times and never had a problem with scratches or damage to the vent piece
