Thumbs down Bosch Cabin Filters
Don't buy them! They're not Bosch, they're MicronAir (or something like that). They're the same as the OEM ones. I read the Ebay description thinking that they were really unique and that they had three layers. I paid $4 more for the same thing in a Bosch box and with some instructions. If you want to pay $4 more for instructions and some advertisement, then go ahead. Otherwise find the cheapest place through Froogle and change those cabin filters every 30,000 miles. My car now has 60,000 miles and I've changed mine twice. They get pretty gross after a while. Mine had bugs in it. hehe...

I vacuum mine out every 10k miles cause it gets really full with dust, leaves, and bugs in that time. The really nice ones are the acura filters cause they keep odors from coming in like pollen, exhaust, etc.

You should just go out and buy one of the A/C Filter for the homes from Home Depot and cut them out into shape. Also there are two filters not one.
