[QUOTE="D Potts, post: 782659, member: 66285"] Well these are about as functional as I can get right now....More to come! *THIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY! Here is teh process: Take a Trim removal tool wrapped in a shop towel. Pry the Fender Vent from the middle top...then slowly slide the trim tool around the edge. There are two Clips at the top and two at the bottom that hold this piece on (along with some 2-sided tape) BE VERY CAREFULL TO NOT BREAK THE CLIPS!!!!! I then took a pair of pliers and snapped off the fake grill from the inside of the vent housing. Replaced that with a GUTTER GRILL found at home depot for $1.39. Cut the gutter grill with a pair of tin snips in all the locations of the clips. press it on tight! There are a few pieces of Tape covering some holes within the fender...remove those. This will allow more air to flow from the engine! (Thus cooling the engine bay a little more) Re-apply some double sided tape to the vent and replace it into your fender. BE SURE to throw on some black paint on the passenger side Antenna (Orange wire). All done. AGAIN, this is only temporary till I get what I REALLY want done! Stay Tuned!!!
