Rustproofing 370Z ?
 
Hi fellow 370Z enthusiasts .... just ordered my 2010 370ZR 6MT ... I'm a believer in rustproofing/undercoating in our climate so is there anyone here who knows a good rustproofing place/shop in the GTA.
With regards to window tinting might head to that ThornHill place recommended in another post.

This is the only reason i like edmonton. No salt to eat away at the car and as long as you dont drive like a retard on the roads the cops dont care about my 5% tint on all my windows.

It was a big deal 30 years ago - not so much now adays...

by undercoating do you mean that oily greasy **** they spray under the car? in addition to being gross and disgusting, i read it's also bad since it actually traps moisture and rust underneath it.

Actually they do use tons of salt here nowadays. Not so 10-15 years ago.

So do you guys drive your Z in the winter? Any problem with clearance? Using winter tires, I assume? Not sure if I should keep my 02 Maxima for winter or not...

ya, i dont like driving my z in winter.
1. icv meter keeps comin up everytime when it is below 4 degrees. it gets annoying and sometimes you wonder if it is bad for the z to drive in cold weather.
2. the gear is really coarse. i cant shift into second at all in cold weather. have to clutch more and just skip to third.
3. you can hear everything, including all the salt and sand they throw on the road to melt the snow. i hate the sound and feeling when driving over them.
4. you cant see everything. especially with our z ground clearance so low, i don want to shove all the snow into my grille and break my front bumper.
5. the z just feels $hitty when driven in cold weather.
