Default Grill Vents

Can someone tell me how to (if possible) to take out the Vent Grills on the lower left and right of the bumper without taking the bumper off. do they just pop out?

yup... three clips on each vent from the inside....you just need to remove the plastic guard thing on the bottom and you should be able to get access to it....but trust me....its 100000000000000x easier if you take off the bumper....4 clips on the top and the 8(i think) screws on the bottom and ka pow!(lol) its off...

its really not that hard, ive done it like 4 times already....5 min max....youll probably do more work trying to get to them if you keep it on cause of the plastic guard down there

just did it! its obviously no horsepower gain but, it does accelerate smoother. i guess because there's a constant airflow going to the filter, i dunno, but its definitely smoother. :-D
