Inner wheel well covers

The first thing I noticed about my new fit when I got it home was the wheel wells have no plastic cover to protect it from having crap bake onto the metal structure. I foresee lots of rust developing after several winters of snow, mud and salt even if washed. Are there any aftermarket companies selling them?

I wouldn't sweat it too much. Today's galvanizing process is pretty damn effective. Before I had the Fit I got rid of a 14 year old Acura EL (upmarket civic based Acura only available in Canada fir curious Americans) that had been through all these Canadian winters and still was rust free. No fender liners either

Yes no inner liners it feels so uncomfortable especially with all the snow this week. I'll take a photo tomorrow. If anyone has covers can you please post photos so I can show the dealer.
