Default Hello all,changing the air filter on a IS250?

A how to please.
I opened the hood find everything is covered.
I haven't taken the cover off yet but I assume the air filter box is on the left side when standing in front of the car.
The wife has the IS now and I'm going out to get an air filter and oil filter(I've done the oil change and filter before).
Before I pick up an air filter,I would like to know if it's an easy 3-4 clip lift up box cover and replace or if it's more complicated.
I assume the engine cover just comes off unscrewing that one hold down.

The IS is going to the dealer for the brake dust TSP pad replacement in a week or so..
If the air filter replacement is tough to do because of connections,I'll let them do it for the million dollars.

Thanks.

Well how to remove the cover clips is in the manual in the glove. Since you cant run off to NAPA and buy a Chiltons service manual for our car the one in the glove is the only one we got... I kinda dont understand why ppl dont read it more...

I did read the manual for mine, but I'm still having trouble with the 2 foremost clips. Actually, theyre not even the ones with the middles that can be pushed down. Anyone know how to get those out?
