Default Help me identify this part

I found this on the ground about 3 feet away from the front of my 2012 Rubicon after changing the oil, not sure if it came from the Jeep and dont remember seeing it before I started to change the oil, I park in an assigned spot in a busy garage used by my entire apt complex. Does this look familiar to anybody, I looked very carefully in and around the engine compartmClick image for larger version

Perhaps endcap to your Rubirails?

Judging by the design and size, looks like a trim piece, maybe interior. Not like anything I've seen on a JK. Either way, doesn't seem to be a needed part by the looks of it. That's my 2 cents on it.

That looks to me like a clutch pedal cover.

Maybe the rubber cover for a foot-activated parking break from another vehicle?

This is kinda becoming like a fun game to me.

Like RedRockJeeper said, it's an endcap to one of your rock rails.
