APEX Air scoop and w/w bottle install
I do not have access to any jacks or anything so taking off the front driver side wheel is out of the question. I thought about just taking off the front bumper but that seems a little to complicated and all the other DIYs I have read say to jack up the car before. So I was wondering if there is a way I could install these items with the hood open through the engine bay if I was to take out my roto-fab intake and the box it sits in.

No, you really will need to go in through the wheel well...
You don't have a spare and a jack? If not, I'd be picking that up before worrying about performance mods (but that's just me  ).

They are very reliable as long at you do it properly. I have used mine several times for mods, when I have to jack up my car.

Do not get under a car with a jack. use a jaqck stand or blocks of wood the hold the up. No jack is reliable

Just did this mod except I did the washer bottle delete... shes a garage queen so who needs it. Very easy mod. Here is a pic that will give you a good idea of the cut line you need to make.

Thanks, I don't have a dremmel any suggestions on what I could use instead to cut through that. I heard it is relatively soft so would a razor of some sort work.

Just take it over to a fellow UpstateC5 member's house. There are plenty of us who can help you out. I did that mod earlier this year.
