Factory PPF on 1LE rear bumper?

Had my Rapid Blue 1SS 1LE ceramic coated and when he went to do paint correction on the rear bumper he discovered it is wrapped with PPF. He showed me when I came to pick it up and sure enough you can just make out the edges where its wrapped.

Bought the car new and obviously didn't do it myself but haven't heard of that from the factory. He suspected it could be to avoid staining from the exhaust, maybe just on the lighter colored cars.

Anyone else notice this before?

Interesting. I'll have to take a closer look at my rear bumper cover to see if it is wrapped in PPF.

Mine came with a small piece between where the side skirts would be and my rear tire. I figured the factory new that section of the rear would undoubtedly be pummeled by rocks, so they gave me a starter/recommended minimum ppf.
