Does Anybody Know Where This Goes?

I washed my car the other day, and as I usually do, I use a blower to remove the excess water before I dry it (saves a lot of time and gets all of the water off of the tires before I put the tire dressing on). After I used the blower and was putting some rubber conditioner on between the hood and the front windshield, I found this (see picture). It must have come loose as a result of using the blower. Can anyone tell me where this is on their car? I think it must be from under the hood, and possibly from on the hood (underneath) in the area where the hood latches to the body in the front. Any help would be MUCH appreciated! Thanks!

It looks like one of the underbody plugs they put in during PDI to cover the holes used for shipping tie down, but I'm not sure how it would have come loose from using a blower above...

Can't help you but nice to see you back BookemDanole. It's been a while since I've seen you post on AZ. Still enjoying the TLX?

as said above it's a body plug to help reduce noise. It simply pops back in under the car

Agree, Body Plug. I assume you found it on the ground.

I'm not really much of a car guy but I think that's your carburetor.
