Chrome vent rings

[mmkeller]

I want to paint the top/center chrome vent rings on my 2008 AC. How do I remove them, will they pop out or do I have to take the top portion off? Not a fan of chrome, except on a nice set of wheels.

Hey There, don't have an answer for you...(but this will work for a bump) but I was wondering if you had some good pics of your interior?

I was thinking something similar...painting the steering wheel and door panels...and noticed a couple people have done it, but I was wondering what they looked like in blue. Shoot me an email.

I wish there was an easier way, no way the chrome rings can just pop off?

Rust-oleum Metallic Cobalt Blue(7251) Closest match and you can't tell. I took the nozel off and used an upgraded sprayer you fit on top of the can. Or....you can pay Nissan to do all the work, my dealer was going to charge me $600 for all the work I wanted done on the inside.

Where did you get your interior LEDs and what kind? I like the pic from the backseat.
