We,I finally debadged the truck late this afternoon. (too dark on completion for pictures)
I also noticed some rust on the inside of my rear bumper a while back, and I spoke with the service manager at my dealership last week about it. He indicated that the factory service rep was going to be in on Thursday, so I took it in for a look.
Unfortunately (according to the FSR) the corrosion on the bumper is caused by the magnesium choride they use to de-ice the roads here in Colorado (no sh*t, Sherlock), and as such, is not covered under the warrantly (sited environmental conditions).
The dealer (service manager) pulled me aside and said he wanted to "do right" by me, and asked what I thought. I mentioned that I'd be content getting the corrosion off and getting the bumper powder coated, so he stepped up and I'm taking it in tomorrow morning to get the rear bumper pulled for black gloss powder coat (a pretty close match to the factory paint, but much more durable).
I should have it back on the truck by Wed. or Thurs. and I will post pics of the completed blackout of my 07 DC.
