How to change the Side Vent?

Hello every one,
I just changed my Front Grill and wipe the bumper in to gloss black today, but I also want to swipe my Factory Side Vent to gloss black too. However, I can't even find a post to learn how to install it, does anyone can give me some ideas? Thx!!

It is easier than that.
I parked truck outside for hours in freezing cold temperature, brought it inside and pulled the vent straight out from truck. That was enough to break the clips.

Yes you are right. And it wasn't a steady pull, more like a tug, tug, tug, snap.

I also pushed from the inside of the wheel well which helped.
