Fortunately for me I'm versed in elementary education and therefore interpreting the instructions will be no problem whatsoever. I do believe my preschool experience with blocks and other shapes should also be very handy in the actual process of installing a bolt on air intake.

Now I just need to get it. I wish I knew they'd ship this late so I could have gotten the 2 day treatment... alas.

Thew, what is the status on the Hymee exhaust shipment you were due to receive at the end of June? Has it arrived?

I put mine in last night. It took about 3.5 hours (along with the RB A/C and OIL screens). No pics though.

Anybody with half a brain should be able to do this themselves.

Those of you that want to pay somebody, just bring it to SO CAL and I'll do it for 1 bill. :D

I was a little intemidated at first, but when those little plastice screws came off it brought back old memories of taking my 68 impala apart.

I read a thread that talked about protecting the lights. I thought that I did, but the part to watch out for is the lower inside portion near the front point edge. I covered the upper portion and didn't notice the lower until it was too late.

Make a mental note to reattach the driving lights. I had to be hudini to get those plugged in because I went ahead and screw the bottom portion on and didn't realize it until I was done doing this and the side lights.

Good piece, good instructions from RB, and sounds great.
