These filters are gray by nature no? Not a brilliant white like others right?

The ones from the dealer/Delphi are gray (charcoal filtration?).

The one I got from NAPA was completely white and was a pain in the butt to install....the sides are not very strong and it kept compressing. I got it installed but I'll be getting a Delphi one next time.

I bought an OE Delphi and it was bright white. They offer a charcoal filter but I don't think that it comes standard. I found out the hard way that the aftermarket filters are crap. The sides are too flimsy.

I didn't realize there were two types of OE cabin filters.

For the price they want for them at the dealer, they should be gold plated.

okay as promised I called Bosch, Fram, K&N, and a brand called Air Qualitee. I got nowhere with Bosch, Fram and K&N both said they don't do cabin air filters ( though I thought I'd seen some from Fram at one time. The only one I got a yes on was from Air Qualitee with a P/N of AQ1085 for 15.99 from Kragen Auto, these are your standard white filters, comparable to O.E.
Thats all I could come up with, hope it helps a bit.

Am I missing something?

Once upon a time there was no such thing as an "interior air filter", just 1 or 2 or maybe even 4 windows down at road speed. Unless you keep your windows up all the time and the car is in a sealed environment, what's the point?

Without being crase (sp?), I liken this whole situation to the recent increase in emphzima with allied inhalers and peanut allergies.

Is this what the world is coming to? Please let me off.

I never drive with windows down. I am sure I can not be the only one. If I want cool I turn on the A/C. I like the cabin air filter. Mine was quite dirty when I swapped it out and I would much rather the gunk in the filter not my lungs.
