Thar she blows....

Was looking over the car and spotted this aero device at the trailing edge of the rear fender:


Any ideas what it does? Separates the flow so it reattaches and energises before the outboard sharp edge quarter panel/bumper trailing edge?

Also found this image of the underfloor of the LE Eco:


From what I can tell, the LE (version I have) doesn't have the 5 panels in the center. At about $100 a pop I don't think I'll be buying them...

Close up of the trailing edge underfloor panel:



Has two interesting aero shapes of unknown function. Anyone enlightened/familiar with what they might do?
