Default CARB stickers for F-Sport intake

Anyone remember where they stashed the 2 stickers when u received the F-sport intake?

I checked the box twice now and cant seem to find it, i was just wondering if there is some place i should look again.

Thanks.

^^ Yes, it's suppose to come with two. One sticker saying it is a reusable filter, do not throw away and the other sticker is the carb sticker.

I got mine today and yes like MrBBQ stated they come with the instructions sealed. Once i broke the seal they fell out but I had 2 (one black and one white stickers).

Also, our intakes use the factory cover correct? So no new cover for the bottom box? Just making sure

You can buy just the CARB sticker from Sewell. Its around $6, but I don't know how much shipping will be.

I bought the CARB sticker for my Joe-Z intake. I don't think the cops will be able to tell the difference.

OH WOW! By the way the shipping costs just under 10 bucks for something they can stick in an envelope for .46 cents!! The total is just under 15 bucks and YES that is CL member price. Yeah im not paying for anything, they need to rush this thing out to me asap esp in California where cops will tow your car for having an intake, ive seen it!!

You gotta relax. They will not tow your car for not having a "carb sticker."

I have yet to put the carb sticker on my car. I'm OCD so I know putting a sticker will not be a 5 second job. I will have to clean the surface at least 3x with alcohol, make sure it is aligned and straight, recheck it another 3x, mark the area with a marker, peel the sticker, stick it on, rub on it for awhile for maximum cohesion, then clean off the marker spots with alcohol. Yea I know, I make it more complicated than it has to be.

I am the same way! In matter of fact I am getting an F Sport sticker to put on top of the airbox.........but the shroud does cover the airbox right? Then it might be a waste

Which sticker goes on where? I know one is for the hood and one on the intake box.

NVM. The black sticker goes under the hood, the white on the box.

So I didn't get the resuable filter sticker with mine. That won't cause any problems will it? I do have the CARB sticker for the top of the air box however.

The 'reusable' sticker is only there so the mechanic changing the filter knows not to throw out the existing one.

Since you ought be doing this bit of maintenance yourself (as it's incredibly easy/simple) its lack should not be an issue.

Yeah i know, they only take your car if your doing something illegal, but alot of CHiPs are pretty knowledgeable on whats stock and whats not and will give you a fix it ticket if you dont have the carb or epa sticker.
