uh-oh what does this thing goto. I found it on the ground

Its labeled 7-22 on the back and is about 1 inch by 1 inch. It appears to be very hard rubber, here are some pics, sorry for the camra suckage. To give you an idea i worked only around the airbox today so i fairly sure this part is from around the airbox area of the engine compartment or somewhere near that.

this rubber thing almost looks like it screws on to somthing it has a little spiral.

should be one on each side of core support. when they get old & hard they will sometime break off easily. get 2 new from dealer ( 'cause the other will probably break soon), screw 'em in, adjust as needed and that's it.

Ok well ill probably be going to a $tealership soon for a new key, is this spacer a fix that should be tended to within a few days? is it unsafe? or is it cool if i drive around with one missing for no more than 2 weeks. Yeah im a maxima beginer.

no big deal, it'll keep. may notice the hood shaking a little. they're cheap/inexpensive probably less than $10 for the pair.

Uh i dont think this is a hood spacer for my radiator support, looking today i belive i have both them on

On the right is the hood spacer (right?) then on the left is what i found on the ground underneath the car. Its bigger than the spacers and i have 2 spacers on currently so what could this be?
