Great video. I was debating whether or not to attempt this - looks easy enough.

^ Nope. Just more bolts or push clips where the lip connects to the bumper.

Installed AEM CAI over the weekend. Thanks sandiegodrive for the videos, they were a great help.

LOVE the sound of the CAI. I liked the sound before with my Stage 3 exhaust but she really roars now, especially in 2nd gear. Now I just need to stop with the WOT..........

Any more difficult to remove for us TL-S guys with fogs??? I'd rather not remove the bumper, but it sounds like the install is much easyer when the bumper is removed! I'm afraid I won't get the bumper back in place because of those pressure points.

Other wise, great video!

Thanks guys for the responses, sorry for the delay I feel off the radar when the market crashed back in October.

The fogs don't really make a difference besides unplugging them once the bumpers off.

Has the video been removed? I just see a bunch of pictures and random videos when clicking the video thumbnail on the 1st post.

Thanks,
Jon

great job on the DIY video and it was much appreciated. I needed to be confident on how to remove the front bumper because I had just ordered some HID's for my fogs and got some plasti dip for the front grill. So I need to do this ASAP

Great DYI video - thanks. I've run into one stupid problem removing the bulkhead cover (30 seconds into the video). Easily popped the 3 pins out, but what is the trick to removing the screws to the outside edges? I've got them turning freely of the lip/housing around them, but they aren't coming UP for me to grab and remove them. Advise?
