    I got the Injen CAI in the mail yesterday and am now sitting around waiting for the hyroshield to come before I install it. Has anyone tried to install this intake by removing the front left wheel and the black plastic shields in the wheel well? The directions from Injen say to remove the entire front bumper, but I would like to avoid that if I can.

    I do remember some one saying that they didn't have to remove the front bumper to install the intake. But I might be wrong.

    Congrats on getting the intake :cry:

    I personally worked along side with a buddy on this one and we did not have to remove the bumper. just the passenger wheel-well.

    Also Kru mentioned a method of removing the front fog-light housing and being able to install and run the intake cone from the opening of the fog light. never tried that method but it shows there are more ways to install then just removing the bumper

    Close very close and since i like u so much evolve247 im gonna clearify-lmao!

    Everything is done from the DRIVERS side and you need to remove both the inner black liner and fog just in case u wanna get another angle to hold things and such.
    Injen says remover the bumper cause this way it will ensure a tight proper fit.
