A fairing vent comprising a louver rotatably attached to a body, and a louver handle attached to the louver, and a method of installing the fairing vent on a vehicle fairing. The body contains a duct having a duct intake and a duct outlet. The louver is sized to block airflow through the duct when the fairing vent is in the closed position. The fairing vent is closed by rotating the louver using the louver handle until the louver blocks airflow through the duct. A lip is disposed around the duct intake. At least one resilient tab is disposed on the body, each resilient tab being biased away from the body at an angle of approximately 10 degrees. Each resilient tab is disposed a sufficient distance from the lip so as to sandwich the thickness of a vehicle fairing between the lip and the resilient tab(s). The fairing vent is installed on the fairing by cutting a fairing cutout into the fairing. The fairing cutout is sized to admit the body but not the lip. The body is then pushed into the fairing cutout, forcing the resilient tab(s) against, or flush with, the body against each resilient tab(s) installed bias away from the body, until the lip buts up against the fairing. At this point the resilient tab(s) spring back into their installed biased position away from the body, thus trapping the fairing between the resilient tab(s) and the lip, thus immobilizing the fairing vent relative to the fairing.
