Secure Snorkel Bracket Hardware hand tight with 10mm wrench or socket. Tighten all three (3) bolts on each bracket. This will secure the snorkel and the bumper bracket

You are about to install the front bumper. During this process it's a good idea to make sure there is proper clearance between the grille and the Snorkel

Civic Si shown. FL5 Type R shown. Other models typically have more clearance between grille and Snorkel

Snorkel can be touching the grille but should not be deforming it. If it seems like there is a lot of pressure on the grille then revisit Step 24 and 25 and make sure the Snorkel sits as close to the intake as possible

Alternatively, you can mark the Snorkel at the interference location and easily remove a little material from the Snorkel with a Dremel or similar to improve fitment

Integra process shown. Other cars similar. Refer to removal instructions as installation is the reverse of removal

Make sure fog light plugs are not hanging below skid plate

Move bumper almost in place and connect proximity sensor

Continue carefully moving bumper into position until it's nearly lined up with fender on each side

Bumper can get caught on headlights

Install one push clip to help secure bumper while plugging in fog lights and parking sensors on each side

Reach between bumper and car to plugs. You may need to lightly pull bumper at corners to create space
