Default Replacing center wheel caps?

Sorry if this has been covered (don't hurt me) but does anyone have any thoughts or know how on how to remove the center wheel caps and install new ones off a new 3.7L? I don't want to just start pulling things off without knowing what I'm doing (prom night, amiright?) thanks guys!

Start pulling.
They are retained by clips and a spring.
Or remove the rim and tap it out from inside.
Or ask a center cap theif how to remove them.
They seem to be pros about it.

Hehe. Are there really center cap thieves around? I laugh about it now, but those caps are like $60 a set to replace

was wondering if these older caps they made for the 16's would fit the newer v6 17 inch wheels , anyone have an older stang or is in a car club where they can test this out?

they pry off with a little effort, just make sure you don't try to "punch" them out (if your wheels are off the car), they can break because they are made of plastic.
