what are the strips on the rear wheel wells that look like they were just stuck on afterwards? what exactly is the purpose of this?

this has probably been talked about, but i had no idea what to search for

Paint Chip Protection Ala "clear Bra"

oooh so THAT's what a clear bra is, i always hear people talking about it but never knew exactly what it was

Actually, those are a lot thicker & more noticeable. Clear bras are thinner, less noticeable.
