Anybody knows what this black pin is?
Hi!
I found this beneath my RX-8, and I'm not sure if it fell from my car.
Does anybody here know what it is, or where does it go?
Thanks!!

It's pretty clean....you must have a new car!
Seriously, go look along the edges of the wheel wells and you will see what they look like when installed. Then you are gonna have to hunt for where it came from. There are literally about 100 all around this vehicle. Check along the lower front edge of the bumper as well. They are also in the trunk and various other places, but since you found it underneath the car look on the exterior where any plastic attaches to the metal on the side of the car where you found it laying.

I took a quick look and you're right, they're everywhere! I'll look further tomorrow, cuz its helluvah tough to see in the wheel wells at night.
Again, thanks!

BTW the trick to these (especially if you have your 19 inch wheels still mounted, is to use a phillips head bit tip thingy from a multi head driver kit and hold the outer ring with your fingers and use the bit to loosen the screw a quarter turn...then pull straight out from the screw head part. Opposite for re-install.
I think they are like $5 for two from Mazda???

oh boy, finding the place where it fell from is quite the challenge...
one single missing pin probably doesn't matter, but it just bugs me knowing that somewhere on my car, there's a missing part!!! AAARGGH!!!

i laughed when i saw the picture..i had a feeling it would be a picture of the retainer clip/screw.
if you're missing a few of these and thinking of getting a revi air duct, or a cai, save your 5 bucks for a beer because you will have extras from taking out the plastic tray under the hood latch.
