    Removing A/C vents?

    I was wondering how to go about removing the A/C vents. I'm thinking of painting them from the stock black look.

    Do they just pop out or what?

    Please advise - thanks in advance!

    To get the center one out you need to take the CF panel out first (2 phillips screws above the radio in the radio slot and 2 phillips screws in the top of the storage compartment/cassette holder).
    2 phillips screws in the bottom of the center vents and 2 clips (push downwards gently) at the top.

    To get the sidevents out you need to take off the speaker gratings first (push the clip you see when looking onto the vent whil pulling the spekare grating upwards).
    Remove the 1 phillips screw that holds the vent and look for the bootomside clips similar to the ones in the centervent top.

    I don't remember though whether the lightswitch panel needs to be removed first....

    Not sure - maybe 744 silver to throw some flash into the otherwise grey/black interior. I'm in the process of doing some other interior pieces, so I'll see how those turn out.
