Needed to put new tags on the bonnie. Took off the rear plate, granted I have taken them off before, but noticed this and it sparked my interest. What does this single black dot inlay represent? Seems kinda random...

Is it a plug? if so pull and look. It'* most likely access or visibility to a connector or bolt.
