Broken Air Filter box.

I'm screwed...I guess the technician who messed with my air filter tightened the screws too hard...so when I tried to loosen it with an 8mm bolt the other day....I cracked the area around the screws..so now I can't even take the air filter box OFF!....so I was wondering..do you know guys how much it costs for the whole air filter box with the top and where can I get a whole new replacement...?

yeah ask around.. check in the for sale.. or wanted... you should be able to grab the entire stock one for 10 bucks or so.. heh.

although its always best to keep ur stock.. people just end up selling it cuz they assume the aftermarket one is so much better.

Or just do what I did when the area around my screws cracked (screws froze up). Go to home depot and buy some plastic epoxy. Fixed mine right up.....only $5 or so.
