Its simple, just slide a knife or something thin between where I have painted red, and the tweeter comes out. After the tweeter is out of the little housing you can see how to unclip the grill. The grill has a few tabs and unclips in the same fasion that the hvac rings do.

How do you post pictures within the text?

I painted my vent rings with dark green krylon fusion and they came out good. I don't really like the color though, so I think I am going to spray over it with silver

Default Jeep Green Interior

I just finished painting the interior of mine plus added a 3" arm rest pad. The pad I did prior to the painting. Next when the weather gets better, I plan do some work on the outside of the Jeep and get a lift done.

That looks great, what silver paint did you use? All the silver paint I found looks gray.

Thanks

Duplicolor Metallic gray 4 thin coats, I am very happy how they came out, the trim on the gauges looks mint. Very happy with this cheap upgrade
