Apologies as we do not have a DIY available just yet.

There are two tabs on the far side of the vent (side facing away from you) that you need to release with a pry tool. Once that has been done, you should be able to reach through the wheel well and push the vent through.

Those are beautiful, what do these vent to btw, my cars on a boat or else I'd go look. They are functional but curious what they are cooling as they sit back a touch on the fender

Our car is currently being prepped for SEMA so it is not possible until the second week of November

Unfortunately we have not gotten a chance to do a DIY yet. It's fairly simple to pull out once the side marker has been removed. You may also remove a couple screws from the wheel well liner so that you can reach behind the fender and push the vent out.

DIY for the side marker is available here:

Glosss black F82 M4 vent with black chrome side marker.

domino_z · 09-28-2017, 07:33 PM

I like the idea of having them in gloss, seems odd that it?s the only black plastic trim piece on the car

M4 Yas Marina Blue Side Marker + Side Vent

Are there install instructions for the side vent? How hard are they to remove? I've looked everywhere for a video/step by step instructions on how to remove these, but can't find anything.

Once the side marker is removed you can grasp the fins of the vent and pull it out. It's very easy and shouldn't give you much resistance.

Perfect, thank you!

Just installed a set of these.

Here is a shot showing the change in a more reflective lighting environment as well as basic before/after. Nice small touch eliminating the grayish plastic on an all black exterior...
