Woody, man don't you know that using Chinese air filters will also cause the Becker radio to go silent and cause the Airbag light to come on!? ha!

You didnt even get a carbon activated filter that helps with bad smells.

Maybe the bad smells originate in the car?

Well, considering it's an outdoor air cabin filter, doesn't matter.

I will just have to make sure I am clean when I get in...

Then the cabin filter would work to protect the outside world.

Default Awww yeah no more sticky *****!
I told you I would update this thread when I took care of those *****!

Soaking in alcohol bath:




Scrubbed, dried. Then I put down a few coats of matte black primer on them, they look and feel brand new.




Funny thing is, it was the wife who complained about them the most. Insert sticky **** jokes here.

I'm more concerned about the Dr. Gonzalez that gave you that cheap toothbrush!
