I saw that ridiculous placement and figured it wasn’t worth a comment.

Sorry, but this is embarrassing.

I’m surprised it doesn’t have a Lemans rear bumper.

They are shipping guards. The dealers are supposed to remove them before delivery but many owner's leave them on. Problem is, is that they are prone to cause scratches on your front splitter as dirt & debris will accumulate underneath them. The splitter guard works back & forth and the debris acts as an abrasive. The designers have asked that you remove these guards as they are not supposed to be permanent.
