take it off, and you will be getting water/mud everywhere where it shouldnt be going. i would suggest getting some screws to hold it back up.
i dont know if its just the pic quality, but that filter looks filthy!

probably alot because honda seems to think everything they make is made of gold so they charge out the *** for it.
i asked how much ONE of those plastic little clips were that held on my bumper, and they wanted 3.50 for it!one!

it's the middle splashguard, it connects to the left splashguard and also most hondas and acuras have 3; one left, one right, and one middle. I suggest you just get some screws and tighten them down.

same here. well, my tire rubbed a hole in mine and then it eventually fell off while i was driving down my street. i've been through dust and rain and even got stuck in the mud
and have had no problems. the engine bay is still as clean as it could be for a 6-year-old car that has never had an engine bay cleaning.
