Cabin Air Filter
So this is the story I got slammed with $80 by my dealer to replace the cabin air filter. Afterwards, I came to this forum and learned to do it myself. I could have saved at least $50 bucks!! Oh well, live and learn...

I got mine on eBay for $18 shipped original Honda parts and 10 minutes for the installation. guys always do a search in youtube,google,AZ,etc and you will save a lot of money for sure. The rates for the hours labor are ridiculously expensive in any dealer and I'm sure that 70-80% of the times you can get the the job done by yourself.

To me, that seems UNBELIEVABLY overpriced. Should cost less than $30 at an automotive store, no? After market filters should do the job well, right? I can't imagine needing to get the OEM filter.
