Actually, I live in Miami, Florida....

So is this covered under warranty or should I not even bother with the trip to the dealership?

24K miles, '02... What do you say?

I can't seem to tell which part of the car is rusting, maybe a further away shot or tell us where exactly it is on the car.

Heres a far shot, some service guy says the only thing that would void the warranty is if it got overspray from the accident, can any1 check under their car and see if that part is painted on their car or if it was painted by the body shop thus voiding the warranty? I also spoke to the Mitsu Hotline, the say I also have Basic Bumper 2 Bumper warranty so we'll see.... Let me know if that part of your cars are painted or not, cause that would be overspray and I would be screwed right?
