fog+cai problem..probably been heard a million times..i dont care

ok guys...if the answer to this question im about to ask was on the instruction manual for the injen cai, then my mom randomly threw the manual away before i wanted to give it a second look...and i've searched through here all over and no useful results so here it is...i've had my cai/fog lights installed at the same time from these guys ...and the bumper isnt fitting properly anymore(hanging out from the left)...and i heard from many that the solution to this problem was to cut part of the front fender off or something.....somebody please help me out with pics or a specific set of instructions to where exactly is the best place to make this "incision"....or a link to useful thread...thanks!

couldnt you just scoot your filter back up on the pipe and re-adjust the mounting bolt right after the filter?

If the filter is pushing on the bumper you could just cut some of the intake piping off or call the company to find out the exact fit of the CAI.

Yeah.. I have CAI and Fogs.. I had my fogs installed first. What you basically have to do is adjust the CAI piping. Pretty much you have to undo the nut on the vibra mount and also undo the tightness up on the tubing near the elbow. You can angle it a certain way so that it sits a little further back.

I made a post about the fog lgiht touching the intake air filter, all you have to do is push the intkae pipe back and make sure the fog light is not touching the airfilter after the bumper is back in place..
