Access to CAI Air Filter w/ 02-03 Front Lip

Alright fellas, performed a search and couldn't find what I was looking for.

My buddy installed my CAI a few years ago now and since then I had a shop install the lip kit. Need to clean the air filter now and am wondering what's the best way to get access to the air filter with the front lip.

Without the lip kit it looks pretty easy..two fasteners and a screw underneath. With front lip..I looked underneath, looks like there's another screw/bolt that holds the lip to the bumper. Does that need to be removed too? What about the two screws in the wheel well?

Just wanna make sure I don't need to take apart more than I need to (not too car savvy as you can tell )..thanks in advance!

no need to take off the front lip.

just do the same thing you did when you didn't have the front lip.

Turn front wheels all the way to the right. Jack up car and support it on jack stands. Remove screws and clips in the wheel well area and driver's side air dam. You can get to the air filter that way. I have done it this way 2 or 3 times.
