You are 100% correct on the rust thing. I have seen folks drill into chrome and they immediatly start rusting once you comprimise the seal. I did the same thing you did on the plastic piece under the bumper. I got lucky, I have the dark grey piece under the chrome and my marinco plug is black so you hardly even see it. Heck sometimes I get asked if there is something on my bumper....running stealth for sure. Nice you have there for sure...Dave
