I just went in through the hood, then UNSCREWED them 
NO need for bondo or whatever. Just loosen the bolts, then take 'em out. I put some wire/mesh in mine to make it look more professional (gotta paint it though).
Here is a Pic.

I had my intake side removed and had my driver side painted for a while. I had to clean my cone filter more often - kept getting sand and bugs so I bought new FTP lenses last month.
When the intake side was removed, I noticed zero improvement in power and now that I have new lenses it looks much better.

I dunno, I just found it in the back of the garage, my dad was building a shed and had that mesh under the floorboards and over some plastic to keep rodents from getttin under the shed
I think he bought it at Home Depot, it's probably pretty cheap.

i actually saw a 2nd gen that had them completly covered up, filled the holes with bondo and sanded them smooth, looked really nice but too much like a probe...

My right side one fell off some time ago, and it looked stupid with only one, so I took the cheapskates route and took it out.
Does that make me a riceboy?

I filled in the FTP in on my convertible. I think it makes the front-end cleaner (my opinion) However, if you plan on doing it, whatever you do ...... don't use bondo to do it it will crack and fall out in no time. I used special compounds made for repairing plastic bumpers to do mine.
