Default What would you estimate for labor for RS4 Intercoolers install on with stock bumper?

I have the RS4 IC's but I wanted to wait at first until I get a RS4 bumper (6 months). Well, it's getting hot out and I'm thinking just go ahead and install it now and get the bumper added later. What are your thoughts?

Default DM-S4 you live in houston right? i will be in houston for the weekend and could possibly break away

to lend a hand for a couple of hours....if you have all the tools...it's really not that big of a deal. i heard that it's going to rain though, so hopefully you have cover somewhere. just make a post or email me.

IMO, too much heat with a Dremel on the bumper plastic; better to have a jigsaw.

Default I agree with the time estimate and bumper

I cut way too much from the bumper but I didn't want to hassle with taking it on and off a few times. The bosch roto zip is a great tool to have. Very good idea HalShizzle I have a bunch of other IC install pics at the link.
