I have rust on one of the bolts that holds the each of the front fenders on,
LOCATION: Open hood, corner behind suspension area where a bolt holds the fenders (near the windshield), does anyone have this?

I also have random rust "dots" on the metal thats covered when the doors are closed
LOCATION: Near the door hinges on the car, not the doors.

Was lookin at a GPW 02 at a 2-bit car dealership around boston and it had some rust on the drivers side below the crease of the door.

^ there u go. i would have taken a pic, but mine have been off the car since i bought it. just pull that off and ur good to go. this really only applies to people who live in snowy states that throw down salt and sand on the roads. that is what gets caught in there and causes rust.

my integra was the reason i know about this. the rust started, then i ripped these off. then i fixed the rust and it never came back. for stupid rubber molding that does nothing but cause rust.

ehhh.. in areas that aren't heavily salted (or salted at all..), the rubber is likely to protect against rock chips, preventing rust...
