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
