I wonder if thats an airflow effect, or if the stuff from the front wheels just gets kicked up and slightly out, so it doesn't hit the back of the door but starts to hit again where the rear fenders flare out...

I assume that air billowing out of the wheel wells (or something) must have something to do with it, since it would be hard for stuff thrown up by the tyre to hit the area near the fake fender vent, since the fenders flair way out over the top / backs of the wheel?
