sorry I did this quick in paint. But sorta like this. If you spent some time making it fit just right it could look really good.

as long as your filters not low to the ground you wont have any issues. I had a cai that went right under the radiator. the filter could be seen popping out just below the bumper. I just made sure it was on tight. I just stayed away from puddles. every now and then in like monsoon weather it would occasionally bog down from all the water but not very often, and only in whether when your hydroplaning when there's no puddle. I won't hurt your engine if its just a few seconds, just don't let it die!!! It will actually steam clean a little carbon out.

If your that worried about it you can buy an anti hydro lock mid pipe filter. But I can't say if they work or not, I've never used them. I live in oregon too. so you should be fine.
