I got in my NSX last week and heard a "Sproing!" noise. Later found this clip kinda under the seat. Is this maybe a clip from the seat- maybe holding the seat cover in place?

Found metal clip under seat

Looks like bent up coder pin. I think the hog rings for the seat are round.
Not a cotter pin. It's a specialized spring clip that goes somewhere and does something.
I'll probably pull the seat out and see if I see anything, just thought someone else would have seen one before.
Although who knows, it's possibly not even from this car, just something unrelated that fell out of someone's pocket sometime in the last 23 years...

Looks sort of like the clip for the hatch glass popper lever.
Edit: actually its probably too big for that.

Yes, a lot bigger than that one. This one is about two inches long.
It's a hairpin cotter pin. I like to use them on the shifter cables.
It could be used for the head rest.

I tore down my seats that were untouched from the factory. The headrest was supposed to have pins, but they used contact cement or similar to keep the head rests inside the seat body. The seat assembly took some liberties.
You have to tear down the whole sear to get to these pins if that is what it is.

Hmm, that looks like that could be it.
I tugged on the headrest, it's mounted solid, so I'll just not worry about this!

That appears like a nice hardened part and not just an upholstery clip, so you would have to pull the seat to look for it's original location , like drew said it sure looks like the engine hatch release lever clip - taking your post in a likely list violation direction - while working on my 91 Toyota mini-van the other day i found this heavily rusted set of micro-vise grips on the floor underneath the van (the old van and my old nsx both blew their evaporators withing a few months of easy other -(cue twilight zone audio clip). They had apparently been sitting atop a plastic under-shield for quite a few years(!) What was some idiot (me) using vise grips on a perfectly good Toyota? Likely grabbed them to use as pliers to loosen the radiator drain. Sorry to be of "no" help whatsoever.

For sure for the headrest

Yes, that’s it, thanks. Screenshot from that video.

It’s definitely not the clip from the lid release, which is different shape and smaller, see below.
