Drove home and took a grille off and inspected. Couldn't find it.

Where can it be?

PS. Lesson learnt : use the right tool in the right job and in the right hand
Perhaps on top of the underbody stiffening plate.
I think it fell onto the top of lower adapter air duct which I cant access unless remove the bumper.

If I leave the ruler as is, will it harm my car?

Paranoid now

Hi there! After some time do you encounter any problem?

I have the same issue just now. I tried to change the front grille and left a small L-shaped torx key there. The key just dropped in right behind the bumper, as shown..

Also paranoid now..
I have no idea still
Since it is in very front end, it's hard to hear or smell anything during the drive
