My TURBO plaque fell off!
I went to change my oil today. Thanks Lrbpa300 and everyone else that contributed information to that thread!
But, much to my surprise, when I opened up the hood, I found my i-VTEC / TURBO plate upside down and sitting on the air intake! What gives -- people don't use industrial grade adhesives anymore? I touched the back of the plate and it was barely tacky.
Wondering what I should use to re-attach the thing... Superglue? Double-sided tape? Epoxy?

take it off and leave it in your glove compartment :P
I can't believe acura would be so cheap as to not etch the writing on to that plastic but instead use stickers in a high heat area.
stupidity.

Well, it's not so bad that it's just a sticker, like I've seen on other cars, but it is thin, aluminum sheet metal, a little bit thinner than a credit card.
