Default What is this?

Plastic part found laying inside car in front of radiator. Just bought, 2004 base model. Is it even a Lexus part?


Thought it might be from front bumper or grille, but everything there is intact and complete.

If it was a Lexus part I would expect that there are some markings cast into the plastic. Other than that I don't recognize it...

That's a one dollar Federal Reserve note. You can use it to purchase things, and it's legal tender for all debts public and private.

Fixman was closest. It was part of the front bumper lower grill, but on the Driver side. Well done. Snapped in place from behind, seems to be there just to reinforce the fragile, delicate grille plastic.
