Air Filter Box

Hey..wasnt sure if anyone knew where to get one or how to fix it..my air filter box is broken..the person who owned my car before me didnt seem to have the right attachment to take the star screws out, so it looks like they just snapped the plastic on the cover...like i said..anyone know how to fix it or get a whole new box?

Which side is broken, the passenger side or the driver's side (or both)?

In that case, depending on what exactly has broken, you'll probably have to get a new lid at best, or a whole box.
Many, many people here have removed their air filter boxes and replaced them with cold air intake systems. You might be able to charm one into selling you their old OEM one.

Good catch and 40 beer credits is a good price. I'm a pack rat and never toss anything, heck I still have half of my exhaust in the Attic
