Default Clear sill protector - OEM or aftermarket?

I noticed that my car has what looks like a small triangular piece of protective film right above the rear part of one of the side sills. Is this something that comes with the car or an after market thing? I only have it on one side of the car and am wondering if I should ask the dealer to add it on the other side, depending on if it's OEM and should be on the car. I know that they polished one of the sills before delivery which is when they perhaps removed this protector on one side.

These come with the car OEM. You can also use any clear aftermarket film, cut to shape. If you leave them off, you will have rock chip/pits in a matter of weeks. They are called Stone Guards, and OEM are ~$75-80 which is a rip-off. You can look up part# T2R11830 & T2R11829.

Ok, thanks for confirming that they're OEM. Then I'll bring it up with the dealer and if he doesn't play ball I'll just put something there myself.
