...It'll look like this. Don't forget to change it, ok?! haha.

Having the car for 2 weeks now, this was def something that needed attention ASAP. Wonder what else was neglected. Bought the OEM Toyota filters on ebay. For your reference:

Cabin air filter: part # 87139-48020-83 $20.49 shipped.
Engine air filter: part # 17801-46080 $20.95 shipped.

Cabin filter \/

After reading this thread I went on amazon and bought a replacement. Being the genius that I am I didn't check before hand and come to find out there was a brand new one in there from the previous owner.

Oh well got an extra for when I do need it sitting in the trunk haha.
