I ordered mine on Monday morning and it got in on Tuesday Noon. It came from Kali!
No, you don't have to remove any panels or the bumper.
1. You get a small thin blade screwdriver and put it in between the panel and bumper where the tabs are located (which is where the vertical rect. openings on the new part) and push it in and it will release the cover. You can reference Carriage Works grille installation guide, step #3.
2. After that slip the new cover in bethind the opening-Don't drop it!!.
3. Stick your fingers in the vents, line up the holes to the tabs and pull it until it snaps into place.
4. Done, Finish & Enjoy!!
Something to consider for those on a budget (like me) & hard to justify spending $200-$300 on an intake only to get a whole whopping +5 hp & trq (like fujita air):
My Cheap $$$ mod./plan is to trim the stock air piping from the box down to the new vent, kind of like a RAM air. Swap the stock paper filter with a replacement AFE Dry filter that's on order. Or K&N filter. $45 for the filter, $4 for the new vent.....a grand total of $50 w/ just as much hp & trq as an intake...maybe a little less.....Priceless!!!!
Oh...yeah I gotta give Props to miketf1 for the great find on this part & posting!! Thanks!!

I did pretty much the same thing with my intake by cutting off about a foot or so, and it hooks on the back of the new inlet grill. It works just fine with the new (stock) air filter. I'd like a Dry Flow though.
