Cajundude Vararam install how-to This is the one I used. Beware, depending on your year you may or may not need the bushings between the intake ducts and the front of car. Mine is an 02 and required two up top and one on the bottom to get the proper clearance to get my fan shroud back in with clearance. Good Luck

It's a bit easier to get to the fog light bolts through the head light openings after removing the head light tops and bezels. The job isn't that bad at all. It can get tricky but the results are solid.

The Vararam install isn't that bad. I did it in the garage of my condo. I found out after having the top torn apart that the jack I had did not fit under the car. I proceeded to do the install by flashlight with no jack. It only took a bit over 3 hours. Good luck.
