I tried a basic search and couldn't find anything step-by-step...
I just got my INJEN CAI in the mail yesterday, and I took today off so I could go get my car serviced (25,000mi) before installing it.
I need step by step insturctions on how to remove the front bumper - I've never really done anything like this before, but I've got the whole day, so I wanna do it right. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Once you undo all of the fasteners take a close look at how the bumper attaches in the upper corners near the wheel well and at the lip under the headlight assembly. The trick is to lift and pull together and the bumper should come off smoothly without damage. It really helps to have a helper hold the other side of the bumper from where you are working. To prevent paint damage, have a rug or some type of large, soft material to lay the bumper upon.

I forgot to add.....when you're ready to put the bumper back on, first hook the lip on and then slide the front corner of the inner fenders in behind the (back) sides of the bumper, before you start putting the bottom bolts back on. If you don't remember to do this, you'll have to remove the bolts again so that you can raise the front of the bumper enough to tuck the fender back in.

Make sure that you actually need to remove the bumper to install the Injen. Everyone said that it was necessary with the AEM, but it is easier not to remove it (jack up passenger side, remove the three undertray pieces, and it goes in quick and easy).
I bet you don't have to remove the bumper to change the filter, either; it is easy to access mine by removing the passenger side undertray.
