OEM front bumper does not have a breather hole like the 99 does.. what are you doing or recommend for a cold intake setup?? do they sell a front bumper that looks like the 99 but instead its for a 98??

 

make your own hole.

or if you are really not wanthing to touch the front bumper, get some of that dryer tubing.. the silver crap, and run it behind the bumper where the opening in the center is to your cold air.

The 99-00's have grooves but no holes....it's cosmetic.

The CAI's go in the fender well anyway. But, if you want you can get a wind scope from a racing shop, mount it in the bumper opening and route some hose from it to your intake.

Someone has done it on this board and a lot of the board track cars do this for brake cooling.

 

I have no idea of what your talking about but don't worry about making extra air holes for a CAI, your only asking to increase you chance of getting water locked up. The OEM bumper will allow plenty of cold air from the middle grill, bottom openings and even from the inner wheel well to reach the CAI for perfromance. The filter doesn't have to be exposed to the outside for it to work.
