I'm not sure about the size of the airboxes in the '03s, but I just installed a K&N Filter in my '02 about a week ago, and it was a tight squeeze getting it in there, but I got it in there by kind of putting the rubber sides of the K&N over the lip of the airbox, closing the lid, and clipped it closed. It took a bit of work to get them all clipped, but if the filter is in there correctly then with a little work they should clip in and seal tightly.
Good luck with it, and try fitting the rubber edges (I'm pretty sure there's a little lip on the K&N that's slightly larger than the lip on the airbox, so try fitting it around the lip on the airbox, and it should fit.
