I asked at a few places for the Fram CF10157 since it's a charcoal filter, but everywhere I looked it had to be ordered since it was a newer filter. So instead I went with the Fram CF10140 which is for the G35. It fits way better than the stock one which was a bit skinnier. This one is the same length and width, and leaves no gaps around the sides.

wow i need to put one in dang dealer cheated me outta $

I just did this install- the directions are great. I recommend pulling the glove box door off to get to the lower screws.

I think the STP1766 filter is just about a perfect fit. As the DIY states, be sure the air flow arrow is down.

You'll see when you slide it in that there are plastic rails in the back that "lift" it up off the bottom of the enclosure. The filter seems like it's meant to have those rails on the "door" lift it up in the front also.

When you open the filter enclosure, just take off the door, slide the filter in, and close it making sure that the filter sits up on top of the rails.

Happy filtering. :) Takes ten minutes.

Just did mine - used the Purolator has electrostatic and charcoal layers in the pleats.

Pulling the door off (pull toward you and a little up when it is open) was a bit harder than I thought - possibly due to removing bottom screws already, a little easier to hold near hinges and pull toward you I think.

I feel like fan force is reduced now, but I never have it on full blast so hard to really be sure.

Just ordered my Fram CF10157 from Amazon.com and should have it tomorrow. Looks like it should be a nice upgrade in filtration and has the carbon impregnated in it. :) $18 shipped for a fancy filter via 1 day shipping sure does beat the $40 the dealer wanted for the OEM plain jane filter!

After seeing your post I just ordered the filter on Amazon.

Amazon.com: FRAM CF10157 Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter for select Lexus models: Automotive

Can't beat $14.45 with free shipping with Amazon Prime. Rep sent to Caneman88 and G96818.

Did mine today with the Purolator: C35479 from Advance Auto Parts for $13

Here are two more pics for the thread, you can see the ledge/ramp the filter sits up on to the left and right in the second image.

I just installed my Fram CF10157 on my 09 Z, it fits good and makes a huge difference from not having one!

I was told that the 2010's + come with a filter. Is this true or bs. Thanks

True. It was of the "changes" for the model year.
