Default Front Air Baffle Replacement Question

I have decided to go back to stock after cutting a large square hole in the original air baffle for a after market cold air box intake system.

How do I go about replacing this air baffle. I would perfer not removing the front facia if possible.

Does this replacement/installation happen best from the top, or the bottom?

During the installation of the after market cold air box intake system, I lossen the air baffle by removing all of the plastic push plugs, but it was not obvious wheather it could be removed through the top, or the bottom.

What is the easiest method of replacement....I know I can cut the old air baffle in half to remove it, but I cannot do this to the new air baffle.

OK guys, some body must have done this before!!

I am referring to the shroud, or the technical name is air baffle. This is the plastic peice(shroud) that I had to alter with a large square hole to accumidate the cold air box system. This is the plastic panel that is directly under the stock air box.

I want to return the car back to stock therefore I need to remove the aftermarket air box, replace this panel, and install the stock air box.

How do I remove/replace this shroud? Does it come out through the top(under the hood), or through the bottom just in front of the front air dam?

Install and remove from the top with a lot of swearing and cuts on your hands.
