Take the grille off, take a look and make the determination yourself. I would never advise somebody to do something they are not comfortable with to their car.

However, IMHO unless you were in a horizontal downpour with the throttle wide open I doubt you get much more than a bit of moisture which would still be trapped in the airbox / filter. Mine is out, I drive in downpours as I'm sure have many others with no issues. Will somebody be able to point out of a situation posted on the big 'ol internet of somebody hydro-locking? Of course, but any freak event can happen.

Again never modify your car if you are not prepared for the worst case scenario.
