Default Removing Bumper Vent Blanks

Had a quick search but couldn't see anything so does anyone know how to remove the blanking plates on the early bumpers.

Is it a bumper off job or can it be done just by removing arch liners etc?

They are moulded into the bumper so it's dremmel time.

I just used a stanley knife, and sanded it smooth afterwards

If you heat it up with a blow torch that makes cutting it really easy. Alot cleaner than using a dremel

If you overspeed your Dremel it has a similar effect!

I agree with Nick. Chicks dig blokes peppered with molten plastic specks...

Is dremel time a bit like hammer time? Whoa whoa whoa and so on?

I need to do mine on my 04, should I be worried about water getting to the filter of my CAI?

I'd be more worried of water getting into it from above than through that opening in the bumper
