9 - 7mm screws hold that panel on. It is located behind the driver's front wheel. I've had mine off without lifting the car. Once the screws are off and you work the panel out, turn the wheel left and you'll have lotsa room.

Udders man, udders. 
They are there to act a a drain for your air intake.
Reach under the master cylinder and roll them back a bit and clean them often (leaves and small children) or water can back up and kill your wiper module.

If you don't keep these cowl drain tubes clean they will plug up, durring a hard rain the cowl overflows and the water shorts out the windshield wiper circut board inside the windshield wiper motor mounted just below the cowl area.
Been there, done that. Paid for it.

If not kept clean, water can back up and flood the area where your windshield wiper motors are and mess them up.

My tech suggested just cutting the bottom part off but I yanked them out completely. My vette doesn't need udders
