Vents

How is the hell do you get the vents out of the main plastic center peice. I am getting ready to paint it and stuff but i don't know about that. And for that matter what about the cig. lighter socket.

With a little force they should pop out to the front.

i already did this... take a FLATHEAD screwdriver and slide it in either side of the vent and pry forward... should literally pop right out and pop right back in. good luck
