WS6 Lower airbox/radiator support is GM PART # 12455209

You'll still need to look at an aftermarket lid.

I did and all i saw was a lid is a lid is a lid. So that tells me that they are all the same size. I know what a lid does im not that much of a newbie. I just want to make sure that if i do get a ws6 bottom i can still use my same filter to the dimensions of the box (length and width) are the same as a base configuration.

You should be able to use the same filter.
