I put clears in mine without taking the bumper all the way off. You just have to go by feel a little bit.

I put mine in by opening up the wheel wells. Easy access after that and you don't have to re-mount the bumper.

I have my reflectors out and I love the look. I painted the section of the fluid bottle black as well so it isnt easily seen. I am at work now and dont have pics to post, I'll try to remember when I get home. I already had my bumper off to mod my headlights but you could do it with the bumper on, as others said just remove the inner wheel well. If I remember correctly its 2 bolts each and they are the 10mm/phillips combo head.

This is the best one I could find. Best advice I could give you is take em out and see what you think. If you dont like the look they are simple to reinstall.

The way the cutouts are I dont suppose much airflow gets in the holes, I think its just for looks. To some it looks incomplete without them, but to me the reflectors looked tacky....reflectors are for bicycles!
