Default Applying Carb Sticker on Intake

I just got my replacement carb sticker from K&N, and was wondering (for those that have carb stickers on their intakes), do you use any other adhesive in addition to that which is on the back of the sticker? Ive read stories of how people steal the carb stickers at body shops, mechanics, etc., and want to make sure mine stays on there good.

I'd just put a larger size piece of clear packaging tape over it. Even better a small piece of left over Xpel.

yeah that's what i would do too

and before you take your car to body shop, just tell them you got the sticker, and if it's gone, they pay

FYI, I did not put mine on the intake. I put mine on the fender well near the intake - that way it stays with the car when I'm swapping intakes. Shhhhhhhh, my SRT is in disguise.

Its that a legal option? I thought it had to be on the intake itself. But if it doesn't, that too might be a good way to keep it from being stolen...they'd look for it on the intake and just think I didnt have one to steal (when its actually on the fender well). Hmmm....

The Greddy Turbo Kits (civics)have carb stickers that you stick elsewhere. Some people just reprint them to make it look real

Don't know if it's legal - but when I got smogged the guy saw the K&N intake, saw the sticker on the fender well and was happy. Of course he also saw the exhaust and did not care.
