Part Identification Help

This part showed up at the end of my driveway and I have no idea where it came from. I have 3 GMs here - one of them a 2004 Vette, a 2014 Buick Lacrosse and a 2007 Buick Ranier. The part has a GM logo and the following numbers:

RH
9063451
8526
>TPV<

I've checked the GM parts reference and nothing shows up. It is made of black plastic and looks like something that would be trim or something from a wheel-well.

And here are a couple of pictures. Any help in identifying this part is greatly appreciated.

Check your two front radiator supports extending from the frame - -looks like one of those after market skids plates that is attached to the radiator support to protect it from hitting stuff - - like the bottom of driveways . . . .

It doesn't look like an aftermarket radiator support "fang", as they are made of hard plastic/nylon and the part in questions looks to be flexible?

Looks more like a wheel well trim as the OP states.

Strange that the GM part number search doesn't produce any results.

The part is heavy black plastic and 3 locations where screws are used through the C-clips to attach to something - not sure what. The puzzle continues. Selfishly, I'm hoping the part is not from the Vette and from one of the Buicks.

I got the same results when I did a part number search.

As your vehicles are all relatively new, I'm beginning to think it may be off an unfamiliar vehicle that maybe turned around in your driveway, or the piece just flew off their vehicle as they drove past your house.

Thanks for the help guys. Crawled under the Lacrosse this morning and found a piece of the passenger side wheel well (front edge) was missing. I could see the same part on the driver's side. Looks like it fell off while going over the curb to get in the driveway. Definitely a warranty repair as 2 out of 3 screws totally missed the attachment holes.

Merry Christmas,
