Comptech Icebox hardware

I noticed on the Comptech website, the photo shows the icebox to include 4 (gold) bolts. I did not receive any bolts with my icebox and am using the stock ones that were used to hold down the factory lid. Did you anyone receive these 4 new bolts with their icebox. If so can you do a comparison between the stock and icebox bolts to see if there is a difference, possibly in length of width? I know the icebox lid is bigger so I'm thinking that the bolts that are included may be necessary in order to get a proper seal. Thanks in advance!

Actually I only had 3 and ended up using 1 bolt off of the factory air box. I bought my Icebox on the black market though.

That's news to me. I didn't get any bolts with my Icebox. I am reusing the bolts from the stock lid. I had to add a washer under each one otherwise the stock bolts were too long and the lid didn't seal properly (this is with the K&N filter).

My question is what is that little spray can looking thing in the pic under the filter? It isn't listed on the parts list.

I bought mine in the Black Market and it came with (4) bolts.

Mine didn't come with bolts. ^^I got mine from Escondido as well...it came with the package box but it was wrapped in a white plastic trash bag. A little ghetto, but the extra bottom end umph isn't.

Much improved throttle response. Seems to pull better. Quiet as stock when you're not on the throttle much. Nice mean sounding growl when at WOT.
