Wheel well liner?

Hi all!

I got my Fit on the road about a month ago & love it- I have owned 30+ cars in my lifetime so far & this little beast racks up with the best of them! Quick question- I see the previous owner installed splash guards behind the tires, but the wheel well in front of the tires is massively exposed & just waiting to collect debris & rust out. Am I missing a liner or are there guards I can install so there is no cavity exposed to the elements? Thanks a bunch guys- sorry for the lousy photos- you can see behind the wheel is covered, but in front is open.

That's just how the wheel well is designed.
As with any car, your best bet is to rinse regularly, especially in winter.
If you want to be more proactive you can use a product like Woolwax, PB Surface Shield, or Fluid Film.

Ok cool thanks, that's what I figured. I'm rinsing daily during the winter & when the weather heats up a bit I will rustoleaum followed by surface shield- thanks a bunch!!
