Fender Vents

Hi,

Did anyone install these himself?
Doable? or have to have dealer to do it?

Here is the section of the PET catalog that contains these vents. Looks like the vent (item 4) is held from the inside of the fender with a matching piece (Item 5). Probably have to remove the front wheel and wheel well liner to access, but looks doable without the dealer. If you want your own copy of the PET catalog for future mods, you can get it here:

I had the black vents from my P2S swapped for the Turbo silver vents. This can be a DIY, but you have to remove the tire and then the front fender liner. I had the dealer do it...but can't remember how much as it was almost 2 years ago.

I wonder if I can get to it without taking the wheel off, maybe only the fender liner.. I'll see monday, worst case scenario I'll visit the dealer. Do you remember how many labor hours they charged you?

I have news: I have spoken with the dealer today, they want to charge $300 for labor to swap the vents. He said 2 hrs labor. Now I wonder if any local shop can do this for less. Anybody any experience with this swap?
