Alright, here it is:

Here's a view of my I4 engine bay with the airbox on the top right side.


Here's the first screw that you have to unscrew.


Here's the second screw.


Here's the 2 clips that lock the cover onto the bottom part.


Here's a closer view of the clips.


Now I'm not gonna take mine off again, but I will guide you step by step here.

After you unscrew the 2 screws, lift up the cover slowly, start from the right side (screws side), and work your way out on the clips, be careful not to break the clips / locks.

Or, you can just tilt the cover open slightly until you can see the air filter (you don't have to take the cover off completely), and take out the old air filter and put in the new one.

Make sure you follow the tab on the air filter itself, and match it with the airbox shape. You can't miss it, it can only go 1 way, otherwise you can't close the cover.

After you're done swapping the filters, just put everything back to the way it was (including the screws).

Let me know how it goes.
