Hey Guys,
Has anyone taken off the side vent and the top cap on their 570S? I can feel three screws on the inside, but I am wondering what else might be involved so I do not break anything.
Referring to the two carbon fiber parts in this photo.

I was wondering about this the other day, I purchased carbon intakes for mine but haven't got around to installing them. Any information would be appreciated!

They are fastened via double sided tape

Good morning, I just purchased replacement upper vent intake covers for the 570. I noticed that some said they go on with double face tape but the ones I received have mounts. Has anyone actually removed these before as well as the ones on the sides?

greatly appreciated

I need to do this to get one repainted. Those mounts look just like the inside trim piece that the seatbelt runs through. That just pushes/pries off.

You are thinking apply Presure underneath in the rear upwards with plastic pry tool and it should pop up then forward ?

That's what it looks like. I don't see how there can possibly be any tape.

Checking in here - anyone have any further updates? One of mine is somehow dented and I'm replacing it. Prying without evidence seems risky, so hoping someone has the knowledge.

I'd like to know too, one of mine needs to come off.

Also to clarify, the ones I'm removing are the uppers, not the sides.

Update: Bought a replacement, it definitely has threads on the mount holes, via metal inserts, not on the plastic. It's screwed in. And now to figure out how to get to those screws.

I just took a look at my side pieces, and there appears to be a screw behind the friggin' radiator screen!
