got mine today. Looks like Blitz does it again with another great product. Which side is up though. I jsut matched the arrows on the filter frame and the filter. At least my AC blows colder now, which is awsome. so how do I clean this thing when it needs it?

Im pretty sure its down....reason is that when I pulled the old one out the top of the filter was full of crap. I can only assume that the airflow was going down.

If so, that seems like a longer-than-3-minute job.

I know how to install air filters, thank you.
Let's get our definitions straight.
The "frame" is the outer, stiff hard plastic part of the filter, that maintains the shape of the inner pourous material.
That slides into a housing that is part of the car's HVAC system.
On my SC (and the pre-98 GS, since the part number is the same), the frame is bonded to the filter material (see pic below), so the only way it is coming out is by force.
So how is the frame "re used"?
Or is the design different in other models?

these pics were borrowed from one of e-man's posts (you can see the frame in the background):
another pic of the oem filter mounted inside the frame:
