Default Wheel wells

Hey guys.Just a quick question.I just got my S back from Honda.It was in for a 90,000 mile service.I noticed that the plastic/metal protection is gone from around the inside of the tire wells of my rear wheels.They do have them right?Please tell me I am not dreaming.I called the dealership back and they told me to bring it by tomorrow morning.

They do come with them. They do more harm than good. Just leave 'em.

If that's what it is, I have that..

But it sounds like he's referring to a rear fender liner..

There is no fender liner in the rear. There is a rubber strip that goes along the outside edge where the quarter panel sheetmetal attaches to the wheel well sheetmetal (which is undercoated).

The rubber strips are supposed to protect from road debris and stone chips
