Post rust on bumper

thats right i have rust spots on my rear bumper. there's one really noticeable spot thats about half the size of a pinky and many other little spots. but the thing is when i bought the car it came with the body kit and i took it off, the rust spots would be covered by the body kit if it was still on.
when i go to dealer do you think they'll repaint it no question ask or will they be like 'you took the body kit off so we're not gonna fix it'.
any input would be appreciated

i'm guessing they will repaint it, but they will charge you. it's weird how theres rust on the bumper since it's pretty much plastic. i guess it came from the kit. you should just go to the dealer anyway and see what they have to say

Are you sure that not just coffee stains? C'mon, RUST on plastic? I have never heard of this. Try rub it with car wash soap and see if it comes off.

Yeah there should be no rust on a plastic bumper. It could be rust stains or something, but its best to get it taken care now just to be safe.
