Two screws and it just pulls off

I added a chrome front, and painted the inner all flat black above the damper, and gloss black below it. The flat is to prevent reflections from the LEDs I added inside the vent, just behind the chrome part, and the gloss is to reflect them (which is what you see.) Works pretty good, I've got the 3-pouch thing and you hardly see any light from the seat.

I'm going to eventually get some of that black reflective tape and put a strip just behind the chrome piece for added effect. It's switched so I can shut them off if need be.

Hey, nice job on the hydro dip, I really like that, too, especially on the inside.

Yes I bought the kit and did it myself. I also did the side heat shields and the custom antenna/flag mount I made for the tourpak
