I have done cold air intakes before on other cars but damn, the celica required a lot of modification, just be warned, if your model has the HID bulbs you are gonna be spending extra time. You have to remove the front bumper to remove the HID ballast, the bolt holding the ballast is confiniently(hahaha) located under the bumper cover...so, in addition to doin cutting of the plastic, the modification to the fender liner, and then fabricating covers for the holes in the fender liner to protect the filter from road spray it was a helluva job. Be sure you have the time and tools and a helper wouldnt hurt. I definately want to warn beginners that this will be a rough one...for me it was simple, just took time, but I wanted to warn any newbies to the performance DIY stuff that it is involved.
