Anyone notice rusting around this area ? or im the only one ?
Was cleaning my engine bay after a car wash when I notice the whole stretch is rusted. Collected my car on May 2013. |

My delivery date was March '13, and mine is rust free. Probably due to environmental factors, either being in an area with road salt or living near a large body of saltwater.

Maybe automatic car washes and high pressure pushing water in there and it's sitting?
