Default Anyone know what this is?

It's that little chain thing user the rear or front bottom of a civic that you can put on, I think it's for wheel alignment but it looks like a chain and has triangles on it. Please explain what this is and what the name is please, I'm desperately looking for the name of it but I can't seem to find the right google word terms lol, I want it bad on my 92 civic cx

Reflectors to reduce rear end collisions? Advertising?

I don't think that's what the OP's after but just to add my 2¢, those ground straps are also supposed to reduce car sickness.

Upload it to imgur using their mobile app. It'll give you a direct URL, as well as the BBCode. Post the BBCode.

Are you sure it was FOLDED?!

"grumblemarc" hit the nail on the head. You have no idea what it's called or how it's used but want it BAD. (SMH)

EDIT:

By folded do you mean like this?

OP said 2 days ago that they have a picture of it. Stick the picture on your computer. Circle what you're talking about in MS Paint. Upload it. I'm surprised we've let this guessing game go on for as long as we have.

Yeah, I've been in debate for awhile now.

Trying to give OP a chance to post the pic.....

I will say, the guessing game has stayed civil and non slanderous (for the most part) so it's easier to let it ride for now.
