Default Been having trouble trying to find a stock airbox

I just traded in my 2006 IS350 for a 2008 IS350 with the sports package. The car only has 8500 miles on it but the previous owner installed an F sport exhaust along with a Fujita intake. I love the F sport exhaust but I do not want the Fugita intake. The problem is that since I bought the car from a dealer I have no idea who the previous owner is and where to get the stock air box. I've ordered a Joe Z intake pipe and a HKS filter but I need the complete airbox, upper and lower portion. I've asked the dealer and they want $350 just for the entire airbox which is ridiculous. I've checked all over and most people just have the lower portion and not the upper portion but unfortunately I need both. Does anyone have any ideas on where I can find this piece?

Yeah i'm just going to keep trying. I just want to get rid of the Fugita asap. The car runs great with it but it's just too noisy for my preference.

For the Fujita intake? Do you have all the pieces to your stock intake including mounting bolts?
