I am doing the 2004 front bumper conversion and I shaved the front bumper support beam. One question, is this part going to rust if I don't paint the area I shaved?

Definitely paint it. I shaved off the edges in the evening, and when I went to install the bumper the following morning, I had already noticed some very light rusting.
Needless to say I sanded all over again, and gave it a couple of healthy coats of paint.
