It's not "fake" DeTom! What's a body ornament with ribs on it supposed to do?
Truth is, several odd body angles are converging at that spot, and Mr Tjaarda used that little ribbed piece to make the junction pleasing to the eye. Does that spot on the car stand out as being too busy, or unattractive, or awkward to you? If not, then the little ribbed body ornament is doing it's job perfectly, and is therefore totally functional!
