Default Which Bolt Is This?

I have an extra one of these bolts and was wondering where it goes.
It's about 2" in length and has a star bolt. Looks and feels very heavy duty and weighs 2.3 ounzes. Guessing somewhere under the car?

I figured already to think about what I had worked on recently. I've never worked with a bolt like this before.

Found it in the driveway...

It's not a bolt, it's a screw; what do I win?

Not "suspension", just suspense. Keep's you in suspense till you finally find out where it goes!

Hi IDM -

Looks like one of the posts that the airbox grommets slide over. There should be another one on the other side.

best regards -

It's the upper bolt for the seat belt that is mounted on the "B" pillar.
