987 Side Vent Removal/ Flashing Side-Marker Hack

[Kevin the Slow]

Howdy!

I moved from a 986 (2.7) to a 987 S. I'm trying to remove the side vents and I can't figure out how. Has anyone done it yet? Pics would be great or detailed instructions on how to take them off w/o ripping apart the car.

I also want to do the flashing side marker hack, I did it on my 986 and it was great to have. Heck, anything that will help NYC taxi's see me is a good thing. Is the hack the same?

Thanks in advance,

Kevin the Slow

Why do you want to remove the side vents? to paint them?

Inside the vent, on the top, there are two metal clips that you need to hook and pull down, which will allow you to pull the vent out. Its a bit of a p.i.t.a.
