This is covered in the FAQ's. Box vs 'out of bay'... Stock is better than an open filter in the engine bay though.

but i would think that if you put the filter at the bumper rain, debris, speed bumps, sand/mud and alot of other stuff would come into contact whith you filter and that would need constant replacments. unless you fabed a shild of some sort

this is what i initaly thought, correct me if im wrong

There are devices you can install is you're planning on driving through flooded areas (which I advise against no matter where your air filter is located). This too is mentioned in the FAQ thread if I remember correctly... I know I've posted data on it a couple times now.

As for debris and mud and such... The idea for most is KEEP the fog light in place. If you remove the fog light it should be obvious that more frequent servicing/cleaning will be needed on the outward facing portion... remember, the rear should stay relatively clean and free breathing.

well i think im just gonna build a wall around it, or atleast a wall to prevent the hot air from the radiator fan from getting to it

FYI - Extending it is the easiest and usually most effective method.... Piece of pipe and a silicone coupler. It's harder to service the air filter though, but given that that's not something you ave to worry about all the time it's hardly worth mentioning.
