Yeah, the inlets. I'm sure one of us Gen 3 owners could get some measurements re: where the filters lie in relation to the bumper itself. Just looking at the pics, the height on the Mine's probably about right. But yeah, there's that whole thing to consider about whether you'd want the holes directly over the filters (probably best on a dry day) which are close to the center, or positioned further out for indirect airflow and avoiding rain.

What would be complicated but ideal (to me anyways) would be to position the inlets about where Mine's ones are, but do a shaped tube from there that goes in and up, then lets the air out on top of the filters in the center. Light rain wouldn't make it through the upwards tubes much, and you could always make little snap-in covers for those occasions where the car has to be driven in harder rain.
