So, anyone ever done an undercoating for his/her TSX in Tennessee? If so, where and if you recommend the shop? I'm looking to get this done soon as winter's approaching.

(I know this is a long shot, but thought I'd ask anyway as I'd hate to go through Winter months with freak several weeks of snow fall and icy roads and force the department of transpo for Tennessee to salt the roads, etc, etc).

Thats probably a good idea if you worked on your car alot using jacks on the frame.

Undercoating is a 'foam-like' material that is sprayed on the underbelly of your vehicle - generally for vehicles in regions that get ice or snow on the roads. This protects the underside of the vehicle from salt sprays (and thus prevent rusting) as the roads get dusted with salt to minimize icing in cold winter, wet days.

The undercoat also insulates your vehicle from road noise - somewhat anyways. I'm used to getting that done with brand new vehicles - it's an automatic when I was living in Vancouver, Canada. Though I've been through one winter already here in Tennessee, I thought I'd get it done before this coming winter as I might get the pang to drive to some ski resort!
