Paint patch?
Hey,
I just picked up my 8 yesterday and after inspecting it heavily I noticed a sort of patch on the side of the car right in front of the rear tires. It's on both sides and I got the appearance package so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it...it's about 12 inches long and 4 inches thick...just wondering if anyone else noticed/had this?

Someone backed up and hit my rear driver side, but nothing got damaged. Funny thing is, this lady was trying to gauge me if I was a careless driver or not. She pointed out that I seem to have been in an accident before coz my car had scratches on them. Then she pointed at those protectors
I explained that new cars have that and she got embarrassed coz she was telling me in a very suspicious tone. I was just cool about it. But I did scream (before) "What the F?! Did you not see me?!" when I bursted out angry after the hit. Surprisingly, the rear bumper just detached about half an inch and I was able to snap them back in without trouble. I'm just glad nothing was damaged.
