Yes it is. You will need to remove the hood liner to access the clips on the bottom side (They will most likely break but not a big problem) be careful not to tear the liner when removing the push plugs that hold the liner on. Your local auto parts store has a handy little tool that will remove the push plugs with out tearing the liner. Once clips are removed use a heat gun or hair dryer and start on one end and heat and gently ply. There is 2 sided tape holding them on and a little gentle constant pulling will remove them. If you which to reinstall take a very small bead of RTV about the 1/8 in diameter and then use a weight to hold them down over night and they will stay in place. Don't over do it on the RTV as it will ooze out the sides and show.

Is it possible to remove the Hood-vents without breaking them?
We have had ours out several times. One potential issue is after they are removed and reinserted they may pull up in the center. There is a thread about heat soaking them in hot water and recurving them to address this.

Tammy used to have vents stamped "Saturn Performance" or "Saturn Motorsports." I think they were functional (??) and looked better than stock.
Anyone know where these are available for sale? Aftermarket or actually produced by Saturn?"
They were aftermarket made by a company called "Saturn Motorsports", I do not think they are around anymore. We have a car here that has them installed and have had several cars come in with them. The biggest issue we have had with them is that they are machined from a flat piece of aluminum and do not have the curve of the hood. They are held in with 2 screws, one at each end, and we have had those screws come out and cause the vent to pop up at one end a couple times. A small welding tack took care of the issue for us.
Mine were removed by the body shop when they repainted the hood. They now pull up on the ends on hot sunny days. And they got carried away with the RTV.

Isn't Sweden where they really dig the old Detroit behemoths?
