Default Side vents!

I know the vents on the hood scoops screw out, but how do you take the ones out on the side of the car. Im trying to paint them but need to know how to get them in and out!

Open the door and reach your hand in to push the small tabs in. They'll fall right out.

I was wondering this back when I got the stainless side vents and they popped out and it was very relieving because looking at it you wouldn't think to just reach behind until you search there.

Paint your vents whichever color you want man. What you like is all that matters! I seen orange on a black t/a before. Doesn't look too bad.
