The simple answer (from another "oldie") is "yes" to the rustproofing and "no" to the undercoating.

However, the rustproofing done at the factory is way better now than, say, 20 years ago. If "NYS" in your profile stands for "New York State" and you plan on driving on salted roads, then you might still want to have aftermarket undercoating applied (plus it may cut down on road noise in the cabin).
