How to remove fender's vents?
Hi all,
Does anybody know how to remove fender's vents? I was drying a car with the microfiber towel and accidentally have broken a clip under that, I'd like to take it off and fix it. Any tips on it?

I think you can only remove the lettering. Those are stuck on with adhesive. The vent looking thingy is fitted into holes in the fender. I ordered my 2019 de-badged rear deck lid and fenders.

They replaced my vent thingy/swirlly badge under warranty.
The rear pin snap had broken. Sounds like something similar to your case, except that I didn't snag a towel on it to cause the failure. The towel snagging after the fact was what alerted me to the failure.

Does anyone have a picture of the holes after the vents are removed? Contemplating of removing them to complete the sleeper look.

My driverside, upsidedown "Nike" swoosh, CF emblem had two broken pins which were this way when the car arrived. I am having a protective film put on the front end, hood and front fenders this week, so I brought the car in show my SA the broken pins first so that the film installers would not be blamed. Fortunately, they agreed to replace the emblem, but I enquired about what the price for the emblem is anyway. A whopping $489 for the little swoosh!!

Thank you for sharing. Will be ordering black now that I know it's this simple to swap. One of my least favorite design elements, and the black will do a great job of hiding them on my wagon.

Beautiful. The window trim is also gloss black... you didn't get those pieces yet?
Let us know how the install goes and don't hesitate to contact me for moral support. Haha

Also, be careful when removing trim as some of the pieces may drop like those little grommet things. Sometimes they stay in the car and sometimes they come out attached to the trim or drop on the ground.

I’ve received all of it. Just haven’t had time to do the work yet. Planning on doing it within the next couple of weeks. Excited to finally remove all of the chrome/aluminum on the car. I will say that the hardest pieces to order were the swoosh decals. Mike had mentioned to me that they are out of stock everywhere and they were expecting a shipment to get here from Germany, in case anyone else was interested in using that particular vendor you recommended.
