Hey Guys,

I'm trying to remove my left side air scoop and I had a question. Inside of the scoop are 3 plastic rivets holding some cables via zip tie under the scoop. Here are some pictures of what I'm talking about:





Do I just cut the zip ties below to remove them to allow me to remove the scoop? What has everybody else done? I'm trying to change the front spark plug.

Thanks,
Nick

I am pretty sure you can pull them out, they are barbed plugs, right?

Yes, they are barbed plugs.

Don't *pull* them out, they like to break. *Push* them out from inside the scoop. Usually a squeeze will help them go through, and they should stay formed enough to be able to re-install later.

Cable ties are cheap.
