Ok guys here it goes:
I would read over Matts post first: (Its very good and guided me through i just changed some stuff on my own!)

1.) Flip the glove box down so you can get to the air box.
2.) Find the dotted rectangle that says "CUT ON DASHED LINE TO ADD FILTER"
3.) Using a utility knife, i did a rough cut on the dashed line.
4.) After getting the rough cut, use a file and straighten out the hole.
5.) Get your filter, I used a filter for a cobalt (Fram Fresh Breeze CF10361) Walmart about $30
6.) The filter is exactly the right width, however i did remove 1/4 of side structure on each side for the depth to make it fit better. (Sorry didn't think to take a pic of this)
7.) Vacuum out any shavings that may have fallen in the hole.
8.) Install filter in the hole.
9.) Build a door for the outside. Here are some pics of the one i made. I used 26 gauge steel i got from home depot for 5 dollars. (I added a label to the outside so whoever buys the car after me knows what is behind there and what to replace it with.) The tab on the bottom locks into the stock nubs, and the far left side is bend 90 degrees to keep everything tight. I did make a screw hole thats a slot to allow for moving room, also installed weather stripping on the back to give a tight fit that won't make any noise. (Also painted black to make it look stock!)
10.) Install door, and put screw in to tighten everything up.
Sorry for the crappy pics but all i had with me was my cell phone.
The air filter made a big difference in the air quality, as soon as i started the fan up i could smell the baking soda stuff, it was very fresh. If anyone has questions just let me know.
