the 'fake' slits that (dont) let air in to cool the brakes on our cars...not sure what they are called....but do they just snap off?

mine on the passenger side is loose and i want to take a closer look at it with out damaging it...so i was wondering if they just snap off or not?

Side scoops. I'm not sure if they have nuts on them. Get a look at it from the backside. I assume it just pops in and out.

ok, so i can just pry them off with a philips screwdriver then i suppose? because my passenger one is rattling like crazy with my sub-woofers, thinking about maybe putting some dynamat under it or just reinforcing it somehow

well i wouldn't use a screw driver you could scratch the paint pretty easy that way.

just pull it off using your hands thats what i did.

as far as rattling idk.

I would take off the interior pannel first and see what it is being held on by. That way you know which way you need to pry it.

Don't pry it. You'll scratch your paint up.

no a good friend of mine did it he cut out the area behind the scoop and made some filler pieces then welded them in. he did a really nice job on it that pic is befor it was sanded and buffed.
