Default Rear Fender Molding Kit - anyone have this?

Does anyone have this item? Found it on Suncoast and wanted to see what it looks like installed. I can't tell from the pictures exactly what it is. I have a few slight door dings taken out and was hoping this would protect it as well.

Why does this seem like a weird add on?

Exactly - seems like it could be good, but trying to see exactly what it looks like installed.

Maybe because I instantly flashed to a memory of a dude in a Dodge Ram truck that had every door, fender edge and panel gap trimmed in adhesive chrome, which matched the non-functional chrome air vents that he had attached to the front fenders, chrome wind deflectors on his door windows, and so many more details to savor, like the image of a statuesque Jesus on his rear window and a giant Brahma bull (chrome, but of course) on the hood.

I believe there are Japanese car inspection laws that require the tire to be a certain distance from the fender. This might be the response product. Probably for situations with the wider wheel choice like a sport techno I'm guessing.

Its a pure cosmetics play. Not attractive on a 911.

Cayenne GTS's have stuck on ones too. More extreme obviously.
