Hey guys I just got a CAI from INJEN today and was wondering how difficult it is to install it. Just by looking at the instructions it seems like im gonna likely fck something up and i'm pretty much a noob when it comes to cars ( though i would like to learn). Anyway anyone here who has installed a 2003 CAI hit me up with some feedback.

 

I had mine installed, but I know you need to take the bumper off...

 

Its a BITCH to install if you have to remove the front bumper. It took me 2+ hours to install one on my 98 Accord 4cyl.

The setup on the 7th Gens are weird. At the Honda Dealership, one of the service guys had to replace the front lightbulb (low beam) and he said that he had to remove the fender lining. i was like :wtf: JUST TO REPLACE A BULB? took him 30 mins to replace both bulbs.

 

That guy is a moron, I replaced both of my front lightbulbs(got sylvania silverstars) in about 10 minutes. You need to take the battery off to reach in far enough but other than that you just need to twist and pull.

 

I changed my high and low beem lights, for pass side, just reach in and do it, driver side, I was able to reach and do the high beem, and had to turn my wheel and pop fender for low beam, but it dont take 30 min, takes like 15...

Anyway I thought their was a way to do the CAI without removing the bumber?!?!?! Kinda wana know cuz I going to get one some day, LMAO... key word is some day tho...

 

well teh insstrutions in teh owners booklet says to removet the fender lining. But you could reach it from the top. Its cus the head lights are in the fenders ahha

 

Damn it's gonna be harder than i though =( i guess i'll just have to get it done by a mechanic or one of my friends. Good looking peoples.
