So is it cracked? Use duct tape. That's the one appropriate use for duct tape.

Well as you know it comes in parts that clip together but the clips are broken, so it isn't fitting properly and I feel my air flow sensor is exposed to excess dirt because of it... have had to spray it down a couple times recently...can try the duct tape but was hoping for a complete replacement or maybe an inexpensive after market option, don't know...

Basically you need to keep the lower and upper shell together. You could use an over sized hose clamp, bungie cords, zip ties or anything of that nature to tie them together like a x-mas present. Just keep in mind it is getting hot under the hood.
I hope you find a decent box soon.
