I was simply changing my air cleaner filter for my 2009 Honda Accord EX-L and a small plastic piece from my head lamp fell down the air intake resonator tube on 2009 Honda Accord EX. So angry this happened. Is this easily retrieved from the bottom of the car? Will it affect performance or damage my car?

if It fell down and is in front of the air cleaner then it should be no problem. if it's behind air cleaner it wil probably get into throttle plate
