Wheel Well - Question about wrecked TSX

I have a 2009 TSX. About a month after I bought it I got rear-ended by a semi. $15,000 in damage and the insurance wouldn't total it. Now it's been repaired but something just doesn't look right w/the wheel wells in the back.

When I stand by the back of the car...looking forward and I look down at the wheel, I can see into the wheel well. Dirty, jagged metal. Shouldn't there be a plastic covering there? Or something that prevents me from seeing that?

I could just look at another TSX but I live in a remote area and that are no others or no dealership nearby.

Can someone tell me if I'm just over reacting or if there should be some type of covering there?

Thanks!

Go look at a new one in the same place. Sounds like maybe it was a frame machine mounting spot that may have torn and they overlooked it. (They clamp the pinch welds under the body to hold it still while straightening the body.)

Burn it....

With that much serious frame damage that car will be a rattletrap and never track right in a couple years...
