I could use an opinion on a small plastic piece that pokes out from the rear fender liner. I suspect it's more to catch rock chips than anything. Can anyone think of a valid aerodynamic purpose? It has a bit of a scoop shape on the inside.

Also a pic of the car from my drive today. If you look closely you may be able to see the deflector.
