Default What are these sticker (?) looking panels in front of my rear wheels?

Just noticed these for the first time. Thought it was a spider web or something but when I went in for a look I found that it's some kind of sticker or panel insert, roughly in the shape of a shark's fin, just in front of the rear wheels. My first thought was that someone played games with the paint or some kind of repair, but, there's an identical one on the other side. They're tough to spot but hopefully the photos show them. This is a 2018 PTT Sport Turismo btw.

Factory stone guards - alot of people remove and replace with PPF which is less noticeable

Huh. Interesting, thanks. I have an appointment with a local PPF, ceramic, etc etc installer on Wednesday so I'll look into that. Funny I tried really hard to see them in pix on Porsche's website and reviews, but couldn't. I was worried there for a sec

The butt is wide and if you didn't have them... there would noticeable road debris chips there.

I believe all the mid/rear engine Porsches have that guard there too.

That is so funny, i have had my Panamera for about 2 months and i just noticed them today and thought for a moment (given the lighting) i had a scratch (it has been cold in Chicago so have not spent much time outside my car)

Thank you for the insight guys

BTW LOVING my Panamera!!!!!!
