Here's the step by step:
http://www.iwsti.com/forums/how-inst...ilter-how.html and this is where I bought my filters from: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AIR-C...9133QQtcZphoto It takes only 10 minutes and the bulk of the time is the R&R of the glovebox! |

damn, from looking at the instructions................i have to take one bar of the rollcage out! i should have done that before i put it back on two weeks ago. or maybe i can change with the bar on. doesn't really look that hard.
lol i have seen somewhere online that zerosports made one for out cars too. and thanks for the links slowguy, still thinking about zerosports or the oem one u provide LOL this is the link for the zerosports one http://www.fastwrx.com/zespaccafi.html Last edited by alvinli217; 09-03-2008 at 04:53 PM. |

And if you're looking for an opinion for the ZS, I say skip it. It says it deodorizes? I'm sure you could spray some air freshener on the OE replacement to achieve the same result - and you could do it to FOUR of them for the price of one ZS filter |

furnace filter material works just as well... and it's cheaper too. You just need to cut it.

I got it shipped to Pt Roberts..
Just make sure to buy a lot more goodies and ship it there at the same time, so your trip to pick up your cabin filter is more worth it Yannerd; I read some people had done that too, but for me it wasn't worth the "trouble" |

Just changed mine today. Bought the filter a long time ago at the dealership but was too lazy to do it. It was very dirty. Feathers, bugs, dirt and all sorts of gunk. Nasty. 49000 on the clock so I guess it was over due.
