Excellent detailed instructions Apex!!) With my CAI intake removed, the front wheels turned hard left, & the wheel liner still tucked behind the tire, I had just enough light to capture this shot through the lower grille. After everything was buttoned back up, the black powder coated Apex scoop blended in seamlessly with the front lower grille, and it's now difficult to detect unless you know it's there. I needed a cell photo [with flash on] & a flashlight to show my husband the inside of the scoop the next day. (Had to assure him I hadn't "mangled" my car. )
