Arrow *****...

Vents ***** that is. I need to know how to remove them without breaking them. One was broke when I bought the car, but I just got one in today off e-bay. I thought I was buying one but he sent me THREE! for 10 bucks! whoop, good for me.

poncho cars?

and the way i got my circle vents out is you get a small screwdriver, and pry underneith them slightly, at the top or botom, it pops the face out, then you can pull the vent slits out
then once its open and clear you can use a said screwdriver agian,, to push from behind and pop up the tabs of the vent and pull out the remainder
