Default Help, rust on 07 Tundra

Hi, I picked up an 07 Tundra SR5 RCSB in November and she just made it through her first Cleveland winter. I have about 8400 miles on it and I've noticed that there's a few small rust spots (in like a dot like pattern) on the rear chrome bumper and a few spots on the front bumper in the space btw. the hood and where the bumper rounds the corner. What should I do about this? I'm going to Lline-X the bed real soon here and I was thinking about doing the bumpers too.

Thanks for any help.

Sequoia2003 has little shameless behaviour in the past.

don't linex the bumpers I think that would look too ghetto. I would recommend getting some mothers chrome cleaner polish and rub the $hit out of those rust spots and then make sure you wax those chrome pieces really good prior to winter. My thoughts. I had rust on my FJ60 chrome wheels and the mothers chrome polish removed about 99% of it.

Take it to the dealer, Get a new bumper or better yet have it re chromed at Toyota's expense, masking the rust wont fix it in warranty.
I agree with Sequoia2003 Linex is kinda ugly, I dislike the fury look.

I just noticed rust on my rear bumper, I will be taking it in for the 15000 mile service in the next couple of weeks and will let them know to replace the bumper.
