look, if it really says v-tech on your engine cover than you must have a special edition acura cl, one not known to man

and lets calm down with the crazy glue lol

simply find a socket set and take your skirt off, see exacly why it isnt staying up or in place, and you might be able to drill a screw in or something if lets say something is stripped.. while your at it, prep them and paint em..

as far the engine cover goes, i never had anything broken but i know i was missing one of the plastic clips that held the pieces together, you sure thats not the problem?

just felt like being an ass
i think the only place you will find replacement covers is probably the dealer, i looked on ebay and stuff briefly and nothing there, i guess a junk yard would be good place to look too but from my experiences i doubt you will find any cl's, or maybe someone here has some laying around, post a wtb

A 98-02 3.0/V6 Accord should have the exact same cover. Just switch over the emblems.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OEM-9...spagenameZWD1V (pricey)

http://manchestermotorsports.com/index.
(then search)
ACCORD
1998
2DR EX V6
ENGINE
INTAKE MANIFOLD COVER
(then)
It should be in three parts,
COVER A
COVER B
COVER C

You might find more accord manifold covers if you search a little bit more.
btw, what are you guys talking about? It dose say 3.0 VTEC. With a Acura emblem too.
