Question How to install CAI?

Hello, sorry for this nooby question, how did you guys install your CAI? Did you remove the front bumper, or did you jack the car up and unscrew the fender well? I bought an AEM intake, and it suggests t hat I jack the car up and use Jack Stands for support. I would do this, but I am afraid that the jack that was included with the car is not safe. I read somewhere that the jack failed and droped the car. So if you did jack the car, did you use the OEM jack, or did you use jack stands? I would remove the bumper because I feel it is safer, but it seems too much of a hassel because there are some screws that are to hard to reach. If you did you jack stands, where did you mount it? The g manual shows the jack points, but it is occupied when jacking the car up with the wheel jack, so where do you put the jack stand?
Thanks,
Jeff

just use the stock jack, take off the driver's front wheel and that's it. You don't need to remove the bumper for the AEM intake. Just read the instructions and you'll be fine.

Just did mine today, I didnt even remove the wheel. I pulled our the fender shroud only, wasnt too bad.

Only problem I ran into was not having room for the filter so I cut some of the Styrofoam off the back of the left air dam. Fits like a glove now, and no risk of water coming in the front like some have after just removing that air dam.
