RE: cold air thru fender
mine is in the fender. have not had any water get to the filter. supposedly, the air going to the filter in the fender is cooler than having a filter sitting directly in the engine bay with the engine heat and all. like i said, supposedly. just pick what you like best.

RE: cold air thru fender
Fender well intakes have the advantages of NO chance of fan wash, no chance of getting it wet when washing the engine, and you'll have cooler air in the fender well. Down side? The filter is annoying to get to (just not as convenient). Getting water in the engine from there is not an issue because Mustangs have long noses... AND the filter is located in front of the wheel, not behind. AND there's a shield guarding it. If your car gets submerged enough for water to get there, it will be over a filter in the engine compartment, too.
