I live in Canada, and in a few months my 2.5 S will see snow for the first time. I am considering undercoating my car in Sept. or Oct. and I wanted to know if anyone had this done yet. I want to know was it worth it and how much did you pay?

For those of you who live in the South undercoating is a protective spray (similar to what is used around your wheels) that is applied to the frame and the bottom of the car to protect it from rust in areas that use road salt. The other added benefit is reduced road noise.

Most new cars come with an undercoat now, considering the variability of weather in most regions...

Page 7-3 of your manual states that you have a treatment on the car to start - you may need to in the future have it checked.

What is this "snow" you speak of?

I think it is some disease our northern brothers have. I comes in the cold years in the years end. Maybe in this year of twentyOeight they may have another rash of this stuff called "snow"
