It's just a cosmetic cover. No need to replace or toss, unless the crack bothers you

Take it off and cut it with Snips. Keep with the form and should look good.

Default It's cheap enough to simply replace it, and minor enough to ignore. Whatever you do...

when you go to reinstall it, the curve where your crack is should follow the contour of the flex-looking air inlet pipe right below it in your pic.

Default Re: I got one for $15 from the dealer.

I think the guy said it's their last one and I bought it yesterday, but they should be able to get more. Or have another in stock and not realize it. Anyways...
