anyone with a 99 front?

What did you do with the air intake? Do these noses provide a seperate duct for intake and another for the IC?

I'm sick to death of sky high intake temps but I don't want the heat dramas (I do track racing in sub tropical australia) of a FMIC.

Yeah I know I could get an SMIC but the ONLY place in aus that I know supplies them wants $4k up front and that's without ducting. At that rate I could buy a whole 99 front end!

Any clue would be appreciated,
thanks

I bought the 99 underbelly and brake cooler ducts/oil cooler ducts. then just bolted them all on with the bumper. I don't run a front plate so I made a piece to cover up the holes for a plate and I cut out the white fiberglass bumper reinforcement to make use of teh front vent that hides under teh front plate. the extra vent under teh plate blows right onto the stock intercooler duct. the rest of teh intakes hit the radiator. I can't say I have any problems cooling now.
To answer your question. yes in a way these frontends do provide seporate intakes
