Default installing a cold air intake

Hey guys.. I'm wanting to get a cold air intake, but i'm not mechanically inclined at all and dont want to jack my brand new car up trying to install it myself..

Anyone in the Wilmington area be willing to help (ie. basically install it for me while I give you wrenches and water and wipe the sweat off your brow) one day soon after I finally pick out which one I want?

while your getting it, make sure to order an aem bypass valve for safety sake.

Me and a buddy got it installed. Only took us about an hour and a half, just took off the wheel and pulled back the fender lining. Didn't touch the front bumper, and the only major major hangup was figuring out how to reset the windows so I could roll them up to drive home!

Just a little rattle I gotta find where its rubbing and fix. Sounds great though! Next up is an exhaust, which I'll be able to get after I save for about a year. I hate being poor!

The bypass is a waste of money. Your filter is inside of plastic so unless you put your car in a lake or river your its not going to get sumerged in water. Which is the only time that the bypass works

(ps i know my spelling is bad)
