Its simple and straight forward. Go into regions threads and post to see if someone can help you in your area. There is no such thing as a good "cheap" anything. It may work but its not "good".

I'm 16...I did this myself. I've removed my front bumper 3x total and the rear once. It is really easy.

Trust me, you can do it yourself. Just be patient and make sure you have plenty of time, that way you don't feel rushed. The feeling of getting something done yourself is priceless

You can do it but just be prepared to take quite a bit of time to take the bumper off because when I did it I was rushed and it was pretty crappy. If you take your time its not nearly as difficult as it seems.

For those that have installed their CAI's, is it possible to do without taking off the bumper?

the video made by sandiego helped me a lot... It took me 3 hours to do everything (take the bumper off, etc) i worked by myself so i think that's why it took me so long... Some pieces were sorta hard to take off and others were very easy... Overall, i enjoyed doing this and i think i learned that if one try one can do it

I don't know how anyone installs a CAI with the bumper on. Following the DIY on bumper removal made the CAI install so much more pleasurable.
