Rear wheel well

[BusyBee]

What’s up with the felt-like lining for the rear wheel wells? It looks cheap.

So cheap they even put it on the GTR NISMO

It's to reduce noise from stones/tires. Pretty much all modern cars use the felt type lining in the rear wheel wells. It's shouldn't be considered "cheap", as it's a solution to little annoyances most manufacturers are on board with.

Simple things really.

Drive without it and see how loud kicked up road debris sounds.
Felt wheelhouse liners are usually found on more expensive cars. Most are plastic.
