something went missing off my fit

The other day I was washing my car and I look down at my rim and see a lug nut missing. I used one of my fiances extra one off of his prelude and went straight to the dealership. I asked the guy for one lug nut. (haha i probably sounded pretty lame)
It cost me a little over $8.00 for one lug nut.
I don't know if I could have just gone to Autozone or somewhere cheaper but still!

Plus, I have this like spandex material type string hanging on the bottom of my drivers side door panel. I was going to cut it off but I just tucked it back in. It keeps hanging out about 4 inches. I don't think it is really important. :/

its a white string correct? you can cut it. When the cars arrive at the dealerships they had plastics on the panels that are help in place by those strings.

Yeha it is a white string. ahhh okay thanks. I didn;t want to cut it and then my door panel just collapse. haha
A looong time ago my friend opened my back door to my old car and the entire door panel fell off. It was hilarious ( nothing to do with a string but it reminded me of that)

I guess the white string is very popular. I pulled on it and more came out so I was going to remove it when i do speakers.

I had the white string as well. It was very peculiar seeing it dangling there. After dealing with it the first few days of ownership I finally just yanked it out.

I too had the white string. I tugged it and it fell. I kept it aside. It worried me a bit and has been at the back of my mind. I'm finally at ease after reading this thread.
