The bumper cover is plastic/urethane and you won't have to worry about any rust on that particular part of the car. If it were a steel panel like a rear quarter, then your concern would be very valid.

whewww...great to know, thanks phunk. im soaking the adhesive for a bit and will check on it soon. i also ordered some Dr. ColorChip for some touch up work later on (its probably good to have it handy anyway).

any thoughts on putting the Z emblem over the residual glue should it not come off? the new emblem used double-sided tape, so my first thought is that i can just be able to stick it on top without it being noticeable.

just make sure you clean it good before replacing it. I would use a quality silicone that will take to a large temperature range such as Permatex 80050 (-75F-400F continuous)
