It should be 8,9,or 10mm nuts under the hood.

It is for the more square ones in the front of the hood, but I couldn't feel or find any for the long narrow vents near the windshield. Maybe I just need to look harder, but it feels like they clip in somehow...just want to avoid breaking those clips off.

IIRC there are 2 clips, I used a flat head to get these out but this will chip your paint on the hood.

I had a thread asking this same question, it was called "Trans Am Hood Louvers", try a search for that, because bobby_80s explained it better then I just did.
