    So installing the intake (simple task I know) what's the easiest way

    Alright so I finally broke down and suckered into the black intake from Injen and rid of the whole ugly box, but still use my drflow. The only issue that I am having is...well I don't have a jack or jack stands, much less an impact wrench :lol:
    But, I do have a set of ramps that I use to change all the oil for my family with. So I have ran the car on the ramps and it looks as though I am able to access most of the small screws and flat pins without having to remove the wheel. So I have two scenarios:

    1.) I can run the car up on the ramps, attempt to remove the stock airbox without having to remove the wheel

    2.) remove the front fascia to aid in the pain it takes to get to the stock air box and MAF....but the thing is I have never removed the front fascia.


    So if any of you who are like me and didn't have those particular tools at the time, or have found other ways to do this let me know. I'm gonna do it either way (I always find a way) but I would like some pointers.

    when i put in my intake i never jacked the car and i did it in a parking garage. You can take out your front head light. to get the headlight out you got to loosen up the grill and wedge it out but be careful so you don't chip your paint. then take out the carriage for the head light. it takes some work to get it out this way but rotate it a few different ways.

    if you could make a how to, that would help other people with the same problem.
