i wanted to remove the door vents that lead from the dash to the doors.

i want to paint the "z" silver and i figured that it would be easier if i removed them first.

i have to point it out to people that there is a "z" there because the whole thing is black, and besides, i figure it would look pretty mean if there was a silver z there.

can i just yank those things out? or is there a special way? top first? bottom first? looks easy to remove, but i dont want to break any tabs by yanking.

i tried pulling lightly at it, but it didnt come off, so i got scared and stopped.

thanks for any help.

i did mine a while back and removal of the vent is not needed.

 

did you use a silver metallic ink pen or is that paint?

by the way thanks for the response. if it is paint, how did you apply it?

thanks again.

 

I would like to know what paint and what was the process you did to do that?? It looks nice!!

 

Just stick your fingers in the opening and pull out. It is held in with a couple clips. Once removed it helps to tape off the lines inside the grill. That way it looks like a complete silver "Z"

 

i used a silver metallic pen. i got it from walgreens for 2 dollars.(they had the pen available in gold, too... if you wanna have a bling bling'n "z" )
i was a little worried that the color might fade or chip, but its been 2 months so far and it still looks the same.

 

thanks people. i will do that project this week. i am sure it will turn out great... now.
