you can buy them at the dealer, autozone, or off the web.

Just remove the glovebox, and behine it there will be a little piece that you have to remove then the 2 filters are right behind there. Really simple to change.

Does anyone know where I can get some of the rsx filers that also have odor guard? They're supposed to fit our cars as well.

Those you can just vacuum out. I've never actually replaced mine and I'm at 30k miles. They still look fine but get dirty very fast. I say vacuum in each crease every 5-10k miles. But the civic ones do not filter odor.

If you have odor in your ac you need to see if your drain tube off your evaporator is clogged. Those collect mildew and can cause odor. Also you can spray some disenfectint in the evvap case.

No I'm talking about outside odor filtration. Like when something smells nasty outside (exhaust or whatever) it comes through the filters. The acura ones block odor from getting in when the circulation is set to outside air. I used to have that mildew smell when I constantly would keep my car in recirculate mode. I now just keep it to fresh air and the smell is gone.

Napa had mine in stock, they were the regular ones though, they work well for me, when I fart I put the window down so the odor filteratation ones are not a big deal to me. They were about 25 bucks for both, came in one box. Hope this helps.
