Default Factory air cleaner assy. ??

I need to buy a new factory air cleaner assembly and my local dealer's price almost made me gag. Does anyone know where I can get this unit cheaper(online maybe)and what the factory part number is? Also is the lower base, the part I cut for FRA, a separate piece and if so, what is its number?

The top and bottom are two separate pieces. I dont know the part numbers though. Check the "Parts Classified Ads" forum on the main page. There is usually someone trying to sell the stock setup for $10 - $30 depending on how complete it is.

You can get an aftermarket lid (upper airbox) for much cheaper and it will help the car perform better.

What I said was.. Why not buy an aftermarket lid instead of looking for a stock one... unless he is doing this to sell the car.. which isn't clear.. why replace a factory lid?
