Attempting to filter items for vehicles based on year/make/model

[socks]

Hey, I'm trying to filter items for vehicles based on year/make/models, kinda like http://www.carid.com/ .

 

The idea I have right now is to have the products in categories relating to the criteria.

So for example, an exhaust can be in the categories:

Year: 2007

Make: Audi

Model: R8

 

This would be the easy part. The question now is, is there an easy way to filter it from a dropdown?

 

I've built the dropdown, I just need the logic to correctly pull that product based on the dropdown selection.

 

Note that I am more of a programmer, so I can poke around the code if needed. I just need a pointer in the right direction. If I somehow manage to solve it, I can post the solution here so that others may benefit.
