Strange fender shape, damage?

I've just noticed the oddest thing and was hoping it wasn't just me. Take a look at the fenders around your wheels (specially 986 owners). I've noticed that where it curls in to the wheel wells, at the top part, there's a sudden sharper curl. At first I thought it was damage, as if someone tried to do that baseball bat fender-widening trick. But it's on all four wheels, and it seems too perfect to be something home-made.

Is it just me or is this part of the painted fender trim for the wheels? If so, anyone know why? Doesn't seem like it would really add any room for the wheels in any significant way (and it would only work if the wheels were fully planted into the suspension...).
