could be to big, I'm not sure
kinda hard to get it under the fender
somewhere inside
but u got an advantage , it flows much more air to the engine

trust me it's right, get under the car and pop out 2 of those inner fender retainers and you'll see how it goes. It's not nearly as complicated looking up from below.

put the filter in through the underside of the fenderwell, it looks right
