I used this write up to help me this weekend to install - thanks. 3 things I would add:

1. Step 10 - it does require you to remove the bolt that holds the air inlets in (not just the tabs)

2. Step? - when you have to remove the cover near the window, to get to the two bolts for the strut bar, it has a bunch of plastic tabs holding in. Don't fear, just keep pulling up and it will come out - I was very tentative not to break anything, but in the end, I shouldn't have worried as they are pretty strong tabs, molded into the part.

3. Step? - when you test fit the lower tubes through your dremelled holes, cover them with the blue painter's tape, because they go in and then turn, and will most likely (guaranteed) rub against metal and get scratched. I had to put them in and out a few times to get the correct fitment, and by the end had various scratches (not that I really cared, but some others will).

I also used the DIY for the Bumper Removal, and looked at Semtex's install thread (in the Intake section), as it has more pics for the actual filter/lower tube placement. You will notice that there are several positions to put them in, all of which are very tight - make sure you cover all of the wires/hoses that touch this tube, as long term you will have some vibration and rubbing.

Also, look at my install thread as well, as I have a few more suggestions as well. Lastly, take your time, do it right the first time, and check all of your clamps.
