UIP Install Question

I just got my new UIP today and I wanted to know if anyone has installed the UIP without removing the front bumper. I was thinking I might be able to just remove the top black cover and remove the clamps from the piping that way.

Yeah you certainly do not have to take off the bumper. I did end up moving something out of the way to give me a lot more room down there.....I am trying to remember what it was iirc there was only one bolt holding it on.

Once you remove that it is cake. Sorry I can't be more specific, but once you get down there you will see what I am talking about.

When you take it off, does the fluid just run out everywhere? How much do you have to replace/refill after installation?
