Stickers on new Stinger near rear door

[Bee]

I noticed that my new Stinger still has some stickers in the exterior color on both sides near the rear door.
Are these leftovers from the transport and save to remove or should I leave them?
They seem to be attched very well.

They are not stickers, they are there to protect your paint from chips in those areas, they are supposed to be there, leave them on.

Lol. If you start to peel them off you'll discover that they are PPF (paint protection film). I had to replace all three on the right side, and they are not cheap! I figured (after the fact) that the wide stance design of the Stinger, plus AWD, will flip the occasional pebble up from a front tire; and there the rear wheel well flares are, just waiting ...

I’m glad I asked. Thank you!

Sure your not the only one who questioned these....anyone out there going oh shit I peeled them off??

I was curious too. Odd that’s the ONLY place they put it on the car. Why not right behind the front wheels.... why not on the front fascia?

Some Stingers on the dealer's lot have various PPF coverage. I've seen as much as back halfway along the hood. All Stingers come with the three patches in front of the rear wheel wells; but somewhere along the line some get other protection, mostly frontal, but also along the rear bumper below the hatch, etc.

Those are for rocks that can be launched out of the front fender vents.
