Default Exterior Grille Inserts (How To Remove)

Does anyone know how to remove the front and rear grille inserts that go in the vents on the side of the car (C6 Z06)? I ordered CF replacements but I cannot seem to get those damn stock inserts out of there.

Thanks a bunch in advance!

Remove fender lines in rear, pop them out from the back. Remove fenders on the front and do the same.

So do I need to remove the wheel too or should I be able to get it without removing the wheel and tire?

Thanks a bunch dude.

Got it. Gotta jack it up, remove the wheel, remove the wheel well insert then you can get to the grille insert. Pretty cool that the opening in the rear wheel well is actually funneling air to the rear brakes.

Thanks again!
