The AC vents have 2 clips on each side (4 clips for each vent). It's a little tricky and you also have to be very careful when removing them cuz they are very flimsy. You gotta work one side out at a time with the screwdriver. it's kinda hard to explain if you can wait till 2morrow I can take step by step pics for ya if it will help.

i looked at them the ac vents have like 2 indents top and bottom looks as if its the clips holding them on the ac vent assembly, when pryed on they flex outward but it seems as if there almost glued in....

I forget how I got that off, I think there were 2 different sets of clips for that. I'll take a look at it 2morrow and see. I did the same thing you are doing (painting all my trim pieces). it looks alot better than the 200 dollar stickers imo, check my homepage to see how mine came out.

Damn, dude. That is nice. It looks alot like mine, except I did it black to match the car. I wish I was able to do as good a job on the climate controls.
