Default How do you remove the front fender vents?

Some vendors are offering these carbon fiber vent replacements...

How do you remove the stock vents? Do you just pry them out from the outside?

Also...does anyone have the part numbers for the stock vent pieces?

This is only an ASSUMPTION, but i would guess you remove the screws on the inside wheel well and reach in to remove 2-3 nuts... I don't think it would just pop out....

I have to see it myself before I made a decision. Pretty far down my list of things to do.

Had the first one out in 15 min

Now to figure out how to get the Z06 emblem off. Looks to be bonded pretty strongly. Have to transfer it to the new CF vent.

Look like the passenger side is the kicker. Dry sump oil reservoir is in the way. Anybody do this? The $$$fromnuttin guy doesn't seem to exist anymore. Anybody have a link to his method?
