VAraram Install
Is taking the shroud off the hardest part of the Vararam install?
With those crazy connectors, what is the best way to pull off the shroud??
ANd what is the best way to put it back on?
Before I purchase the Vararm I would like to know what I am getting into it.

Pulling the shroud out was not the hardest part by a long shot. Wait till you get up in there and have to get the foglight surrounds out and replace them.
They were a Beatch for me. That part got me pissed...........
But I got through it. Bring all your patience when doing the Vararam.

I just installed my Vararam this weekend. It took me quite a while but I would say the hardest part would be removing the two foglight housings. Replacing them with the new foglight/vararam intake can be a B*$#% as well. Everything else is just time consuming because of all the ratcheting you have to do... Everything is really secure in the engine compartment - & by that I mean the shroud has like 8 different screws to remove. Once you remove all the screws from the radiator shroud then it can be pulled right out the top. I did break the two card door style plastic connectors... I found it easier to pull it up from the bottom after I installed the new intake. Follow the link above, it explains everything for the most part... Good Luck!

I agree with everyone on the fog light covers being the most difficult part of the install. It's just like anything else though, the first time is a learning process and after that you can cut the installation time in half.
