Rear Stainless Steel Skid Plate

Rear Stainless Steel Skid Plate
I ordered the Front and Rear Stainless Steel Skid Plates but noticed that I don't think I received the rear skid plate unless you consider the thin strip that goes up and around the trailer hitch as a skid plate.
Perhaps getting the hitch option made things different than normal skid plate? Anyone have any knowledge on this question? See pictures below. Note: the exhaust chamber shown might at first look like a skid plate. It would seem a "skid" plate should be covering that area.

Unfortunate choice of names for that rear piece. Although I obviously can't see it when I'm driving, that huge resonator/muffler is aggravatingly visible every time I walk up to the car from the rear. Had the same complaint about my Touareg, and I'm sure the Q7 is no different. I'm waiting for the day that I find something to make that big silver lump (considerably) less visible. Doesn't even have to be functional, cosmetic is sufficient.

You're right. Duh. Hadn't gotten under the car yet and not used to seeing such a large exhaust chamber horizontal like that. Anyhow took a better look and I see the poly gas tanks now basically with one on each side with the exhaust running in a channel between them.
