what did they charge you to buy it?


and also, do it yourself, it's so simple bro

UNCTYPE-S

well im getting it for 209 bucks, and i would do it myself if i had someone there to help just in case i get stuck.

i installed a cai on my grand am and it wasnt that hard to do at all

ChadT

Does this place sell them for $209? That's a deal!

UNCTYPE-S

no, they owed me a favor, so they gave it to me for cost. so i guess im the lucky one.

wtf? Go to Garage Kwai near chicago, they charge $45 to install. www.garagekwai.us everyone says they do excellent work

UNCTYPE-S

damn thats like 45 min from where im from. i will see, thanks

CLpower

won't be any harder on your car, it's all basically simple. If you get stuck, ask the board.

They are really close to me....It would be worth the drive...they know thier shit.

UNCTYPE-S

anyone i should ask for when i call there. thanks

UNCTYPE-S

ok i just talked to vince over there and he said its 60 bucks to install, and also that they would have to take off the front bumper. does anyone know if this is true. why would they have to take the bumper off if the intake isnt going into the fender.

anyway 60 bucks and he can fit me in on sat

Nicky Pass

Taking off the bumber just makes it really easy to access everything....A friend and I put an AEM in really quick because it was on a lift. Kwai has probably done so many of them thats its a cake walk.

darrinb

you dont have to take the bumper off if you dont want to

Red-CL

I would help you if you were closer.

I did mine in about 45 min.

UNCTYPE-S

yeah they said they have done numerous ones, so i guess they know where they are doing. i was just thinking, why would they have to take the bumper off if the intake isnt in the fender, its in the engine bay. but they said to modify a few things, they will need to remove the bumper.

Hey,

My brother who installed CAI on many Civics/Integras and CT 'Ice Box' on Accords can do it for you for $40. He lives in Skokie.

Let me know.

bobbydoedoedoe

if i remeber correctly, the reason for the removal of the bumper is to unscrew the bolts that are attached to our stock intake.

not necessary to remove bumper. fact!

Had my Icebox installed by the George Kwai shop.

They did a good job, I had a scheduled time but had to wait around for about 3 hours to get it installed.

Not much to do or anywhere to go around the shop to kill time.

Tell Benson that Raj and John recommended you ...

we're long time loyal customers of his .. he'll hook you up.

do it yourself.

So simple. you'll feel worse paying for it. Not the money, just the fact that you had to pay someone to install something soooooo simple.

I'd do it for a case of Michelob, but I guess my proximity isn't ideal.
