[QUOTE="Cody Templeton, post: 1626891, member: 45015"] You don't have to pull the entire hood blanket, just bend it back enough to get to the 10mm nut. Take that off first. Then either use a towel or painter's tape to protect the paint and use a plastic trim tool to pry up at the corner of the vent like Weimer said. The clips are pretty resilient, but the issue is that the little foam pieces under them disintegrate, which is why I removed them and replaced with rubber washers from the hardware store. SEM trim paint is a great factory match as well. I'll be doing the cowl in the same textured gray, but the wiper arms will be done with the VHT roll bar and chassis. [/QUOTE]
