Cabin Air Filter

Breathe a Little Easier
 
Although Hyundai included some terrific standard equipment on the GT they skimped on this one. Ever start your car, turn on the fan and see dust spewing out of the vents? I know I have. Well it just so happens that there's a slot for a cabin air filter behind the glove box in the Elantra. Unfortunately, Hyundai USA saw fit not to give us the filter. And so we're stuck with dirty air and dust all over the interior. 
 
This cabin air filter isn't listed as an option for the Elantra in the Hyundai USA parts catalog. But, once again it's the '03 Tiburon to the rescue! The stock cabin air filter for the Tib just so happens to fit the GT perfectly. While this isn't a micron filter it works great as a barrier against dust and those pesky leaves! You can order one of these thru your Hyundai dealer (part # 97133- 2D000) for around $40. This is an important, simple to install and inexpensive upgrade.
