Default Cabin air filter

Anyone know of any cabin air filters for the 3is that are good. Currently have a ****ty eco guard that smells pretty bad. Lexus dealer wants 40 bucks cad for it which is pretty steep.

I believe it’s in the glovebox behind the tray if it’s similar to my 14.

I use K&N cabin filter; you can clean it once in a while and use it for long time.

I'd just go with K&N - it's cheaper in the long run since you can reuse it

Stick with OEM. You either have the issue of not enough fins for filtration or subpar material. Plus side is that they are charcoal filters. If you look up the OEM part number on Amazon, you will find a OE equivalent for a bit cheaper than OEM prices.

I just got 2 cabin air filters and an engine filter for my other cars. Cabins were like $10 for charcoal better than the OEMs. Engine filter came with the little tabs as needed. Amazon, brand was spearhead for both. Done and done.
