Okay,

I was finishing up the install of my P1-SC Procharger on my 2005 GT. The last step (seriously) and something fell off the car onto my chest.

I was on my back directly under the front end with my head below and just aft of the radiator, centered in the middle of the car.

I was attaching the black plastic radiator protection panel. I pushed the panel to the front just a bit and provided leverage against the chin spoiler to be able to line up a screw hole....

Lo and behold this black plastic thing falls on my chest from somewhere above me. Seemed to come from the passenger side up in the area where the radiator and transmission cooler are.

No idea what it is. No part numbers on it.

Anyone know what this might be?

Thats called a quarter dude! That is currency you can use to buy a bubble gum.









OK, just messing with ya. That is most likely just a spacer. Haven't seen it myself. Look up where is came from and see if there is a line dangling freely somewhere.

The whole front of my car is taken apart currently, I looked. Can't find it.

You might have to trace each line down there to find out.

Or just say screw it.

No holes. No screws. No sign of another one of these anywhere on the car. I tossed in toolbox and will keep it just in case.

In auto class, we had to pull a engine out of a S10, put new pistons in and a new cam.. put it all back together, we had extra bolts left! lmao. Could not find where they went to save our life.

Ran fine though.
