Default How to remove fender vent insert on GXP

Has anyone removed their fender vent inserts? I was able to partially push one out from behind the fender, near the windshield, but I wanted some opinions on doing it correctly. I appreciate it.

There's two up top, push them down from under the rubber part of the cowl, then wedge it out a bit, then pop the side close to the door out, then pull the vent out. Don't know if that's 'correct' but that's how I done it.

I'm tempted to paint mine as well, either dark blue or glossy black, but I doubt I'll do it.

I would love to paint the front grills and the fender inserts all gloss black.

I was thinking of painting them aluminum. Nothing that screams, just enough color so they dont get lost on the black fenders.
