That is very very simple to do. Its literally all pop out plastic pegs. I think 10 on the bottom and a series on top. Put your hand under the bumper and it pops off.

You will find that most minor things are easy. There is no mystery to cars on most things expect the mystery in your head. Heres a basic guide. Its like a exhaust...Its like 12 bolts that hold it together. It hangs off the frame with rubber thingys. Easy easy to remove and install another. I think it took me a hour and a half to do the whole thing.

The hardest part of the G3 install and it comes with a illustrated picture guide is you have to dremel the air duct holes behind the bumper to make them wider for the intake to pass through. Alot seem to use anything but a dremel and that can be hard. Dremel makes it cake.

There's also two bolts, one on each end of the bumper up underneath the wheel well liners.

IMO if bumper removal isn't for you, you may consider a shorter intake system. Air filters don't last forever. You'll need to get in there sooner or later for maintenance. It's not difficult just take your time and be gentle when pulling.

On the above post about the AC lines.... Yea I found that out the hard way. Bought the car preowned with the intakes already installed and they didn't wrap the AC lines. My AC lines burst and made one heck of a mess at summer time in Florida. That wasn't fun and very expensive at the dealer. Ran 500 or so. Live and learn.
