well i'm a new tsx owner and my first purchase for the car is the comptech icebox now i swear that i heard that you could install it through the wheel well? is that true b/c i really dont want to take off the front bumper unless i really have to

you can do it without removing the bumper. It's just a little tricky getting the front bolt off the resonator through the foglight cover but you can do it. Just make sure you've got a 10mm ratcheting box wrench and it'll make the job go a lot easier.

How difficult is it to remove the front bumper? Screws in the corner of each fender. Screws along top of bumper. Gravel shield under bumper needs to be removed?

I have the OEM foglights...

How do I remove the "hard to get to" bolt now?!?!

i believe you might have to disassemble the bumper OR you might be able to get to that bolt by removing the wheel well cover...

I just jacked up the front driver side and removed the wheel.
took some tabs holding the wheel liner and pulled it back, then removed few screws in the side of the bumper so i can pull bumper a little bit.
i think theres total of 3 screws you have to remove.
two through the back of the bumper, and one through the fog light hole.
