    2005-2007 Air Filter Element

    The new JG for 05-07 states:

    "The air filter assembly consists of 2 filter elements. Original filters have a black rubber seal around the perimeter. Original filter element filter media is a pleated dark grey material".

    "A stainless-steel crosshatch screen is molded into the assembly. Original filters have the part number stamped in yellow ink on the edge of the black seal. Original filter part number : ACDelco A2945C. Service replacements have white filter media".

    I'm having my 06 judged in Melbourne. For a month or more, I've been looking online for an air filter element which is "dark grey".

    Every AC A2945C filter I see has a white filter media. Aftermarket brands that I have seen also have the white filter media.

    Are there any sources for a correct appearing dark grey air filter?

        Chuck,

        How about trying to dye the white filter element gray?

          I'm considering that.

              About a month ago I bought 2 at my dealer. White elements. I pulled my filters out yesterday.

              NAPAs that I put in about a year ago. I bought them over 10 years ago iirc when a friend opened a store in my town. They're gray.

              Edit: WRONG... They're my original filters. I never installed the NAPA filters.

              They are more of a charcoal color.
