How To Remove The Front Bumper
#21
Here are some older pics of my [single-piece] Injen...if anyone's interested . By the way...one would do well to plug the drain hole just directly over [once installed] the CAI's air filter. The drain hole in question resides in the channel juuuuust inside the engine bay...between a headlamp housing bolt and a fender (body-painted) bolt on the passenger's/front corner.
And here's the hole that should be plugged (pic compliments of Xviper...and additional advice if you are a CAI owner can be located >>in this thread<<...
(...I still need to plug mine myself -- but a recent owner's >>hydrolock<< experience once again reminded me that even with 100K miles on my car with no problems, I shouldn't continue to put this preventative effort off!)

Whew....she survived the surgery. It took me and my brother about 3 to 4 hours. The Injen instructions were absolutely horrible. So we had to feel our way around the install. Removing the front bumper, to my surprise, was quite easy as you guys stated. It's just the thought of removing the front bumper that was intimidating. I saved $75 bonies and had the pleasure of doing it myself. So, thanks, again, to everyone for your advice and help.
BTW, I did have it up on ramps and did not remove the right front wheel. I'll post pics later...

It is actually a strut tower bar (STB). Mine, as you can see in the picture, is a Whiteline from Muz. It does rub a bit. I have since put some padding between the two.

Yeah...and its not even really a Strut Tower Bar (since we don't have struts on the S2000)...so a "Shock" Tower Bar I suppose .
My STB is made by Cusco. And believe me when I say that the S2000's framing is such that an STB is purely cosmetic. Should you be interested, in my opinon, one would only receive nominal (and very likely only subconsious) suspension firming from an STB on this particular automobile. A lower X-brace does more for sure. And a lower front sway bar does the most for suspension tightening.
