Thumbs down Motor Sticker Missing.....WTF?

I recently noticed that the sticker on the inter-cooler cover was missing.....How crazy is that?
The Acura symbol is there, but the i-VTEC Turbo sticker is gone....

Probably have to buy the whole cover to get the sticker if i know Acura......

Warranty i wonder???LOL

I had the same issue, I popped the hood and rooted around for a while and found the plate hiding amongst the hoses. My guess is that the engine heat melted the adhesive. I have the plate hanging in my room now haha.

I had the same issue happened to my car too. I just put some 3M VHB adhesive tape on the back and put it back. But I guess you can go back to the dealer and have them put one back on your engine cover.

I'll tell you why it's missing. Guys with turbo'd RSX like to sometime get their hands on a sticker that says "i-VTEC Turbo" because they are boosted now. So they have friends that work at Acura dealerships snake one off of a new RDX hoping that they won't notice. The majority of folks that go out there to buy a brand new car don't really pop the hood to see what's under there unless they're car buffs.

Just a theory, but the shoe seems to fit
