Shame on me for not searching first. Foosh answered the question in another thread.
My only concern is that I'm not tall and I remember those Louvers being high...
FWIW: if you're interested, when I ordered last week said the dealer said they were on sale. FA la la la la laaaaaa, la la la la!

I picked up and installed the chrome louvers today. Installation was about as simple as it gets, taking about 10 minutes.
Pictures below are in bright sun, so perhaps a little hard to see the full effect, but they look great. I love the J-Blade feature of the louver emulating the J-Blade in the headlight.

Yes, if you can change a lightbulb, you can do this.
You simply pinch each set of clips on the underside until they release. I was able to reach around with my other hand and hold the loose louver from the top, so it didnīt fall and impact the hood. If your arms are too short, a second person can hold from the outside. The louvers will come out completely undamaged and reusable, and the clips are very flexible.
It took more time to clean the dirt that had collected under the old louvers than it did to change both of them.
