cabin filter is under the passenger side dash. pull down the panel and youll see the filter housing....has slide release to release the cover.

the engine filter is on top of the engine. just pulll off the engine cover and flip it over and youll need torx to remove the filters.

The cabin/pollen filter I've been changing in my '99 is in the engine bay, inside a 'box' at the rear of the bay near the center of the firewall, right above the blower motor. You undo 2 or 3 spring clips to open the lid of the box, then you'll see the existing filter. This is what it looks like...

If there's another filter inside the car, I'd like to have a part # for it.
