take off your front bumper and remove the black plastic jug on the passenger side of the car up in front of the tire. that will expose a hole into the engine bay where you can run your cold air pipe through. the rest is pretty self explanatory. good luck.

You don't have to remove the front bumper.

Jack up the passenger side and turn your steering wheel to the right all the way. Then pop out the little plastic screws on only the furthest forward piece of wheel well plastic and toss it aside. Proceed to remove the stock airbox, resonator tube and plastic all the way to the throttle body. Next, if you have a 2 piece CAI then take the smaller section and attach the filter to it. Place the filter in the bumper and slide the pipe up through the hole that now is exposed to the engine compartment. If you have the cheap kind of CAI that doesn't bend toward the front bumper, you will have to support the filter somehow so it doesn't keep sliding out of the hole. Now take the larger pipe and attach it to the smaller pipe with the hose clamps. On the pipe that goes to the throttle body, take the hose clamp and put it on the piping then attach to the throttle body. Tighten everything up from bottom to top and lower your car back down and remove the jack stand.

It may take some wiggling and finagling to get it right but trust me the CAI is easiest to install from bottom to top or from bumper to throttle body. Oh yeah, if you have the single piece CAI, just install it from the bottom of the car to the engine bay.
