Do I really have to take off the whole bumper?!

There are legit ZERO videos or schematics on the this!

you do have to remove the bumper, why are you trying to take it off?

That’s a muthafugga! I see a light from the engine bay inlet, thought I could modify it for some cooler air…. on the non-premium there’s no radar, if you remove it, there’s a direct opening to the tube that leads straight to the air filter. I figured I could take that out Dremel it out so it’s open and have free flowing air to straight to the filter.

I too wanted a fresh flowing air source to the intake inlet. Made a thread about it here . Doesn’t show too much of the snorkel but took a 3” hole saw to the flat section of the radiator cowl, mounted a 3” flange to it and made a air scoop to divert air flow into the tubing.

Yeah, I think it was bolted on from the other side of the bumper.
Bumper removal isn't impossible to do.. even I (clumsy dummy at best) did it on my own.. with zero scratch.

If you're planning to do something real stupid like paint it red or something, god is sending you a message to stop right there..

Prolly no one is looking at this thread, but If you're interested, DON'T BOTHER! I spent a whole fucking day trying to fit pipes and tubes going towards the pass side and these bitches made it so tight even a pencil dick wouldn't fit.........back to square one.......fml.........

I saw his post, looks good but I'm trying to go down the opposite way, not towards the toyota logo, but away from it down to the bumper grille...

If you wanna go that route you need to take off the bumper and headlight, from there can cut into the brake duct vent to route a hose.

I got the hose in today, 2 1/2” flexible PVC pipe. Gonna tackle this in the morning.

It's incredibly tight back there, but there is room.

Removing the front bumper is a 30-minute thing. There's a bunch of 8mm and 10mm bolts holding it on, nothing major.
