Does anyone know what this is and should I be concerned?

See attached pics.

I found this on the garage floor underneath my Z. The approximate location was in the center of the car, left to right and just to the front of the rear axle. But like I said, approximate.

It's just shy of a 2.5 inch square of flexible rubber, black on one side and beige on the other, with a slight curve in it. There's a small white splotch on the black side. Both surfaces are textured and the beige side MAY have some remnants of adhesive.

Touring sport roadster, manual, BTW.

Nothing else parks on that side of my garage.

I talked to the service manager at my dealer and described it and it doesn't sound familiar to him.

Any guesses?

Thanks in advance!

Looks like one of the pads under the spare tire in the coupe. Not sure if there's anything like that on the roadster?

Rubber square-what is it?

I don't have a spare tire.

Bring it to the dealer and ask the service/parts department, pretty sure they can tell you what it is...
