The picture IS in front of the wheel.


Wheels can fling material in all directions not just backwards.
Things can have more than one purpose.
The .00001% impact those floppy rubber things have on aero is laughable.
Of course this is an "enthusiast" forum though so the majority will lean to the performance aspect of every single part while totally ignoring the practical.
Those idiotic moron engineers at Toyota obviously are clueless when calling it a "STONE GUARD"
