DIY: How to change your cabin air filter (Pics)
There are a few threads here talking about how to do this... but none of them had actual pictures.
I waited 130,000 miles to do this. I do not recommend waiting that long to do yours. 1) Pop the hood. 2) Find the passenger side cowl trim piece... right under the wiper. Then pop off three trim fasteners...    3) pop off the hood seal...  4) pop off the cowl trim piece...  5) pop off the filter retainer...  6) pull out the filter. Here what mine looked like after 130,000 miles. front...  back...  oh... and remember that there is directionality to the filter. However, it wont easily go in the wrong way. Amazon has a TYC brand filter for $16 (part # 800156P), free shipping (if you have prime, or spend $25) Ebay has a TYC filter for $12.50 http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=280519, free shipping Amazon has an ACDelco brand for $25 (part # CF178), free shipping Patrick T. has one for sale, but he doesn't list the price... http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=131179 Partick is a forum sponsor, and usually price matches well. I am guessing that he has the ACDelco filter.

Your filter doesnt look dirty. The Delco filters are that grey color when new.

I expected the filter to be completely clogged after 130K miles! That actually doesn't look too bad to me.

Pulled the shrouding off last fall and my car did not even have a filter. I learned that other folks noticed they had no filter from the factory either. I installed a new one anyway.
