Ok I called HKSusa to ask them if I can get a replacment sticker, it turns out that the kit which pretty much everyone has which is carb legal has been discontinued. The sticker is no longer available. They told me that best case scenario is to print out the carb EO, which was issued to the intake and keep that with the car. I know from past experience that that doesn't do ****, cops want to see the sticker or stamp applied to the intake itself. In one case a friend had a honda civic with a carb legal header, complete with the instructions, reciept, etc. They would not smog the car with the header because it didn't have an attached plaque like the newer versions.

If anyone can provide me with one or the stickers, or a digital image of the sticker with dimentions, I will have my wife (graphic designer) re-create them in a way that they cannot be distinguished from the original. I will then sell them at cost to anyone who needs one.

All it takes is for a member of the comunity to either loan me their sticker, or get me a good digital image. Once I get a copy of this sticker I will have around 10-15 of these printed anyone who wants one to use with this intake or whatever intake system they want to use it with, it will cost between 5-10 dollars shipped depending on the complexity at such a low volume.

Thanks, that will work, what are the approximate dimentions, length and width, and what does the backround look like in person, does it look metalic?

For AEM, a friend of mine had to go to a sponsored AEM dealer and prove to them that he had a legitimate AEM intake for them to give him a sticker.

I heard if you add two of them together, it reduces hydrocarbons by an additional 50%....thus the logic goes that if you have above 25 of them on your intake, you can totally remove the cat and meet emissions. Yep, I think that was mentioned on the CARB website somewhere....

FYI, the sticker is 3" x 1.75". It is not shiny metallic like the picture shows. That is an effect of the plastic baggy that it is in. I would call it flat silver.
