I have my doubts that the plastic air cleaner ever looked like that, fresh from the factory. It is a rough-molded one-piece affair that suffered from an inconsistant supply and quality of pvc (or whatever raw material was used) during the molding operation. Mine was almost two tone left-to-right. I still regret sanding it and shooting it with a matte black epoxy to get it to look like the one in the picture. Also, the throttle bodies were natural metal finish, not painted black.
