I almost did, but the car did start and that was after a large truck blasted/splashed my car from a large puddle and dumped gallons of water all around the car. Very nerve racking.
3. Little splashes from regular rain storms will wet the filter: NOT a BIG DEAL. You should clean the filter often.
Enjoy.

Thanks for the info
, now my plan was to take it into a shop and get it installed, but now I kind of want to try and do it myself. Any tips for doing this? Like how long should it take and do I have to remove anything just to get the old filter out.....like the battery or anything above the front tire?
