I would recommend against using an automatic car wash for the sake of your clearcoat + paint, however. Those things are dreadful.

Your car will be fine from getting water in it. If you look underneath and see all the coverings everywhere it will be very hard for water to get in there. Usually ppl who have stuff like hydrolocking is because they hit massive puddles that canoes go in and their CAI sucks it up lol. The Icebox isn't as low as a CAI so that's even better for you.

Autocarwash saving water...not really sure. It isn't worth the overall affects to your car though IMO. High pressure water is fine but what's killer are those huge things flying around and slapping the hell out of your car. The car washes don't clean those off so if someone goes in there with a filthy car and then you go in after the left over dirt and grime particles that get trapped in there will then be slapped about on your paint. They use basic soap too, nothing special. I would just do a full wash yourself since you will be a lot more cautious and you can trust your work. Also, those things don't always completely clean your car to begin with, you can see streaks, scratches and still spots of dirty areas after.
