Yeah.... I put the chrome edging around my fender wells to prevent rock chips, and they are starting to show a little of that. In Montana, they use "magnesium chloride" on the streets for road deicer... and it eats up everything. I had purchased stainless steal for my 04 GMC because I thought that stainles steal would not rust. I was wrong... this deicer will cause most everything to rust. If they use magnesium chloride on your roads, that is the problem and not Toyota. No court will side with you.... trust me, they have had this is courts since they started using that crap up here. They have use it since (some time in the 80's), and are still using it today. Do a search on road deicer... you will find tons of stuff that looks just like yours. Good luck!
