That's the easiest part. May sound like a lot of work, but on the sixth gens, it's jus 5 or so screws/bolts, and a bunch of the black clips. Then a little tug, and you're golden. 10 minute job once you've done it once.

ok, those black clips get on my nerves, kuz when i installed my CAI, i took off so many and broke off so many, so i need to get some from the dealer(unless you know where to get some, PEPboys?) what is the proper way to take them off anyways? and where are the screws? 2 on the bottom, and 3 on top??? i havent looked to check if it's on top, but i saw the two bottm ones.......

You can always ask the dealership for copies of the service manual, it tells you where the screws and clips are

Well, you need to slide the plastic pin out first, it will come about half way out. Then pull the entire thing out, pin and housing.

I've had to buy a few replacement clips...kinda spendy...I think $2 a peice at Honda. You could get away with a couple missing though. Steal one from your trunk, etc.

As far as the screws go...there is one in each front wheel well. Then there are either screws or bolts under the bumper in front of each front tire. Then there is one bolt in the middle...not under the bumper, but kinda under your emblem, and I can't remember if there is a bolt under the bumper in the middle.

Then pull out the sides of the bumper first in the wheel wells, then tug at the middle top front part under the hood.

yeah, they are sorta a b_ _ _ _ to take out.....after you pop it out a lil with a flathead screw driver, instead of pullin straight out, twist and/or turn it a lil, and it'll come out a lot easier
