Ok, just to be sure
I received my black vents today that come attached to the panel. These don't seem to be able to just be "pulled out" without breaking the two retaining clips that hold the inner section with the vents. Everybody is saying that it's an easy switch, but in order to pull these out, you have to hold the clips in to get the piece out. I'm pulling as hard as I can on these without breaking them and they will not come out due to the two back pins that have to be pressed in from the back of the panel. Unless, this requires that the dash is taken off, I don't see how these can be pulled out? On these replacements, sure it's easy, just turn the panel with the two vents upside down and press the back pins in and pull. But, if your just pulling on them from the front vents, they go nowhere. I'm obviously missing something here. Help!

Ok, got one of the black replacements off
Ok, I guess it just takes more force than I ever would have expected. They do come off, but you have to pull hard enough and put a great deal of force for the pins to release. A rather scary amount of force if you ask me, but they do release. Thanks!

It's just as easy/hard to pull on either one. The tabs that hold the trim ring on are more fragile than the posts that hold the vents though.
I've taken mine out a few times (for pics and to show others how to do it) using the trim ring, but the last time was one time too many and those tabs broke.

I never thought of it, but I will consider swapping them out. It should look really nice! Although, I like the chrome because of the stock gauge cluster.
