it is not too hard.

there are a few plastic clips and 4 philips screws.

the hard part is to pull the sucker out once the clips/screws are off. the first time i did it, it took like an hour (being extra careful). the second took 10 mins.

make sure u get a mate to help out when u're poping off the bumper so you don't scratch the paint.

i have a diagram to show where the clips/screws are but it's at work. i'll post it up tomorrow.

btw why do you want to take the bumper off?

can the DC5 Mugen intake fit on an EP3?

Well according to nengun website they are different part numbers

17200-XK2-K0S0 Honda Civic Type R (EP3)
17200-XK5-K0S0 Honda Integra Type R (DC5)

However I think there might be a chance the DC5 one will fit the EP3, because the airbox bolts onto the stock Airbox mounting brackets and I'm pretty sure the DC5 and EP3 airbox is similar.

But i dont have anything concrete yet.

Will dig up info on the net and see.

i had a look about this issue too and i think they should be very similar if not identical.

but i'm same with Chi, not 100% sure.
