A couple more things I forgot to mention...I got my filter from www.autoanything.com

As for the filter being low to the ground...I was aware of that before I bought the filter. It still has several inches before the bottom of the filter would touch the mud/water shield on the bottom of the car. The only real opening in that wheel well is the front grill now that I put different mesh in there. As for the filter getting wet....this is not a problem at all. It would only be a problem if the filter was completely submerged in water.
