Will this rust?

Hey guys,

an accident occurred when I was trying to shovel out the snow under the car. This is under the side skirt on passenger side. My question is will this rust or I can disregard this problem?

Thanks for your inputs

I don't think it will rust out that easily. Maybe. If I were you, I would apply some anti-rust enamel on the surface to prevent it from rusting out later on

p.s. isn't the side skirt made out of plastic? (frp) if it is, it won't rust

yah, that piece is plastic so no issues with rust.

get a shovel without the ice breaker metal strip!

Would have no problem if there's no 20 degree slope in front of my garage

Yeah, the sideskirts are plastic, you're fine

I think this is a good idea! Definite weight savings to be had
