I painted mine. I think I have a picture in the link below that will show them. If not I can take a couple and send the to you. One thing I do have on my to do list is to take them out and send them off to be chrome plated. But that is the same cost as a cam that I am after so it can wait.

There are 2 little allen bolts on the hood ones. And the side will just pop out with a little pick and a decent firm pull.

O2WS6BIRD: Actually, I am not sure..I can't recall at the moment. However, it's tiny and will come with most allen key sets you might purchase.

They are held in by two T-15 Torx screws each.

For the side ones, it's just like VooDoo said, they can just be pulled out.

The hood inserts are held in by two T15 screws. If you look you will see them on each side of the insert. The side inserts pop in and out. You can use anything L-shaped or hook shaped to pull them out. It's real easy and you will not hurt them. As for paint I bought Duplicolor in the color I wanted at the autoparts store.

I would take them and get them powder coated. Might only cost you 20$..I have seen this done before and it looked awesome.
