Is it possible to remove the air ducts, both left and right side, without having to remove the front bumper/nose assembly?

Front bumper is actually quite easy to remove in one piece - should take less than 10 minutes to remove. It is easier to work on the airboxes this way. If you are just looking for access to the airboxes (like replacing the rubber boot between upper and lower, you just need to pull the headlight assemblies (that takes a little bit longer than 10 minutes each).

I need to replace #4, Cross Member Front, and was hoping that I could do so with very little pain. However, with additional research and the responses to this thread it appears that may not be the case. Any suggestions?

It's not a big deal to pull the nose off as one piece and about the only way to assemble and install it correctly. First time in, give it a few hours to pull nose off and take apart if you plan to fix some broken or off target pieces.
