So I see a 3rd Gen Yaris LE 5 door sitting outside...

... and I run out and check the wheel wells. These LE wheel wells look finished for the most part whereas the L model wheel wells that I was checking out last Saturday didn't look as finished if at all. So what gives?? Is it possible that the new Yaris L that I test drove on Saturday indeed didn't have properly finished wheel wells?

What I mean by finished is having pretty much the whole wheel well dressed out with thick plastic that covers the underlaying metal. The Yaris L that I test drove on Saturday had some minimal thin plastic covering like 1/3 of the wheel well with some rubbery/sticky tar like stuff sort of overlapping that. It seemed like 60% of the wheel well was exposed metal and the rest was inadequately protected.

I know I might seem to be obsessing about this but I would really love some definitave information in regards to this. At this point I'm thinking I'm gonna go to another dealer to check out a Magnetic Gray Metallic Yaris L within the next week or so. I'm currently without an auto so this requires taking an Amtrak to the town that has a manual trans. Yaris L that I can check out.
