Fender Side Vent Removal
Hi Folks,

I am going for chrome delete look and trying to figure out how to remove the chrome blades on the fenders’ side vent and either paint them black or wrap them. I saw the side vent grills for sale on eBay with blades removed and I am assuming the blades can be removed. Does anyone know how to remove the blades or the entire grill?

They're clipped on. The whole vent assembly can be removed with 4 torx screws.
