Default RUST on rear bumber 08 screw

I have an 08 lariat with chrome bumbers that i bought in october of 08. the truck was made in 11/07. I was just underneath the truck and noticed a light rust on the inside of the rear bumber across the whole length of it. Any one else have this problem. I have to go to the dealership any way for service on something else just wanted to know if i was the only one with issue.

if you are really that worried about it, take it off and paint the inside with por15.

I believe that's true until it's a year old. After that you get a rechromed one. They do rust too.

^^Same here. Not sure what insurance company that guy's using, but I'd find a new one if they tried that on me!
