The neighbors have one of these parked in back. Example:

It strikes me as somewhat strange; The part on the deck lid is weathered like a bumper, not a fender. The shape of the fender requires the bolt-on part for continuity.

It appears that it was designed to protect pedestrians if you back into them, but only in the middle.

OTOH the top is a perfect teardrop shape with a dead-flat beltline. I'd love to graft one into the top of a school bus.
