No need to man turn ur wheel all the way to the left go to the right tire take the splash gard off go under the front of the bumper take that plastic off or just leave it hangin then when ur stock air box is off ull see the little air bucket thats already in ther thers two bolts or screws i belive take those off from the bottom and rip it down then just stick the tube threw the hole and hook the filter up from the bottom its easy

super easy:

1. Open hood

2. take out the two front amber bumper lights with a phillips screwdriver. Gently pry the light assembly out with a small flathead screwdriver.

3. Take your phillips screwdriver and then remove the two phillips screws on each side of the wheel well where the bumper black trim meets the fender. Take both screws out on BOTH sides of the car.

4. Take a 14 MM socket with a long extension and then remove two 14mm bolts that are tucked in the hole where you just removed the amber turn signal lights. Each side has 2 bolts.

5. Lift the bumper UP and away from the car's frame.

Total time: Less than 10 minutes

I can't remember if you had to remove the corner lamps too. If you do then do the following:

on the 88 CRX's those corner lights also use two phillips screws on each side.

make sure research all the fine details that are needed to install a jdm bumper as there are known issues/fixes to do the conversion.

If my memory serves me right you need to change/remove/modify the rad suport to accomodate the new bumper.

just look around H-T you'll find someone here with a detailed write up
