hey guy,

I had the same problem some weeks ago...it´s pretty difficult to pop off the side air vent at the passengers side because of those plastic clips which are supposed to snap in!

It took me about an hour to pop it off!

well, I think it would be easier to get it done, if you ´d remove the glove box first...lie under the vent and you will see the clips!Try to lever it by using a screwdriver or something like that...perhaps you will need someone pulling it out while you are lying under the vent!;-)

Unfortunately, while pulling it out, the two plastic clips got broken!
But it doesn´t matter, if it brakes...it won´t make any problems when you put it in again!

By the way, post some pics when you got it done! ;-)
Here is one of my interior!

Yeah, I had the same problem as well. I busted a couple of the clips taking it out but it really made no difference when putting it back in. It's still secure in there. I think the clips I busted were on the bottom, so all the other clips still hold it in good.

I just modded it, and put some 3mm LEDs in it....so i figured i might as well paint it.......i used kyrlon fusion and its amazing......if anyone is going to paint plastic definatly see if they have they color you want, it didnt need to be sanded or primed because its specialy made for plastic.....


yea im a nerd.... >>

wow that makes me want to do mine now but sadly its raining today and I work tomorrow >>. Quick question I want to make all my stuff look smooth and glossy so should I sand it and then after I paint use a a few clear coats?

Theyellowdart084

#23

yea thats what i did....make sure you uses liek 220 or higher grit sandpaper and spray in a light coats.....then when your ready for clear coat just do a few light coats and it should look pretty sweet!

try sanding or maybe a paint thinner? i think if you sand it you should be able to paint right over it

the regular 3m should be fine....i just bought some more at wallmart for like 3 bucks......just make sure you get the right kind of grit size (lower grits are good if you are trying to completely wipe off paint and higher grits are good for finishing touches)

YO you missed vents dude
the 2 or three on the top of the dash,
the one closest to the windshield.
the one above the driver side left vent..
and possibly the one above the passengerside botom vent if there is one there
