I believe I found it by accident the other day while jumping off my other car. I think the "inside" air filter is located inside the lid of the battery compartment. Look in your engine bay and remove the plastic lid covering the battery. I found a white airfilter there connected to what looked like a duct to inside.
Hope that helps,
John

Was thats supposed to be a challenge? while messing with the fusebox under the hood i saw that there is a strut-tower brace (aka strut bar) under the hood too.

I used to wonder the same thing, but I guess with a sealed battery, it isn't an issue. It's not fully sealed and maintenance free, but it's sealed good enough as long as the caps are screwed on tight.
